The NSWWS warns the community by providing warnings of severe or hazardous weather which could cause problems, ranging from widespread disruption of communications to conditions resulting in transport difficulties or threatening lives.
This support is provided in three ways.
- To the public at large via the broadcast media
- To the civil emergency authorities
- To the Ministry of Defence when conditions may become sufficiently severe to warrant military aid
