The clean-up continues after major storm damage caused by wild winds and rain in the Narromine area late yesterday (Wednesday January 14) and locals are being warned to keep safe.

Although high temperatures and further storms were predicted for today the State Emergency Service (SES) told the Western Plains App the worst of the weather event is over.

The State Emergency Service says it acted on 40 calls for assistance from across the Narromine township.

‘"We were working on about 9 properties this morning and most of the damage was to residential areas.

"Thankfully we put an incident management team together which will focus on any extra calls we receive," a SES spokesperson said.

Essential Energy crews also worked overnight and into this morning to restore power to 230 homes and 7,000 customers from Narromine Shire and western parts of Dubbo Regional Council.

Some customers remained without power overnight.

With storm season ongoing, Essential Energy said high winds and branches falling onto power lines are a public risk not to be taken lightly.

"Please stay at least eight metres away from fallen powerlines, power poles and damaged electricity equipment, or 150 metres if any part of the electricity network is covered in flood waters.''

Power to most customers was restored by midday.

Narromine Shire Council’s Waste Facility was open today Thursday 15 January 2026 and will continue to accept green waste after yesterday’s storm.

There will be a small fee to drop off waste.

A spokesperson said ‘’This is for Narromine residents cleaning up after the recent storm, including branches, fallen trees, and garden waste.''
