The Cooma Ex Services Club was designated as Cooma’s emergency evacuation centre, shops were sandbagged and supermarkets buzzed with shoppers getting in some last minute supplies; just in case!

People living in low lying areas of Cooma were put on standby for evacuation and the local SES door knocked, informing local residents of the potential for a major flood event.
