Clean up efforts across NSW will ramp up today, after torrential rain forced more than 800 people to evacuate their properties over the weekend. 

13 local government areas have been affected, with the state and federal governments declaring a disaster and unlocking financial assistance. But Sarah McMahon is the Mayor of Hawkesbury Council says it's the seventh flood in 18 months for some of her residents, and is accusing the State Government of ignoring her pleas to help with flood mitigation. She says her community is "very angry."
