NSW SES incident controller Superintendent Anthony Day revealed these numbers on Saturday while reminding the region to "stay safe" as flood waters gradually begin to recede.

"We've had some significant flooding across the Hunter and more broadly across NSW over the past couple of weeks," he said.

"Whilst we are now seeing a reducing trend in terms of the flooding across the Hunter we are encouraging everyone to be vigilant and ensure that they remain safe.

"That's about making safe decisions in terms of their movements around the area and those properties that have been affected by the impacts of this flooding to ensure that they conduct a clean up and also manage their affairs in a way that is safe."

Superintendent Day said the SES had united with other agencies to give residents the support they needed.

The emergency management team at Metford would remain in place to maintain the support until it was no longer needed, he said.

"We've got multi-agency teams from our emergency services partners - the Australian Defence Force and our council partners - working in those areas conducting impact assessments and assisting with the clean up in those areas," Superintendent Day said.

"We're waiting now for the final flood warnings to come through from the bureau so that all of the catchments across the Hunter fall down below minor and we can start demobilising and returning all of our operations to their normal response profiles."

Superintendent Day said the response was a team effort and he thanked all of the agencies and volunteers who had assisted.

"The cooperation between the emergency services and all of our council partners has been really profession, so thank you to everybody we appreciate the efforts," he said.
