The scale of the nation's latest "rain event" continues to overwhelm. And, by all accounts, it's not done yet.

Parts of NSW are bracing for another three days of rain falling into swollen creeks and drains while other parts, namely northern NSW, is just simply crying out for help.

Australian Community Media's mastheads are collaborating on coverage in flood-hit- and potentially flood-hit - areas. You can keep up-to-date here.

Meanwhile, as it continues to rain cats and dogs, sometimes it seems helping animals is more straight-forward than humans.

Barrington Tops-based wildlife organisation Aussie Ark has urged people to consider how the floods affect animals, too.

"This flood event is another blow to our already struggling wildlife," Aussie Ark conservation manager Hayley Shute said. "Large amounts of water can be just as damaging to wildlife as intense flames."

She said floodwaters pose a "huge threat to wildlife and their survival".

"The quickly rising waters have likely flooded burrows and drowned animals such as wombats and echidnas, while critical food sources will be washed away.

"The destruction of habitat will be huge and the impacts will be long lasting, with species displaced and placed at greater risk of predation by feral animals, car strike and disease."

She suspects thousands of animals will "perish or be displaced during this disaster" and helping them rebuild will take time.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare agrees and, in partnership with the NSW Wildlife Council, has developed an app will put people directly in touch with the nearest wildlife rescue group to report an injured animal. Just search IFAW Wildlife Rescue wherever you get your apps.
