The Federal Government has reportedly earmarked $75 million for mitigation measures for NSW communities hit by this year’s devastating floods.

The money for levee improvements, warning equipment and other resilience measures will be announced on Friday by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, The Daily Telegraph reported.

The funding will go to the 62 local government areas hit by flooding in February and March this year.

Mr Albanese is attending a Bush Summit of community leaders, farmers, industry and MPs including NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, hosted by the Telegraph, in Griffith, NSW.
