NSW disaster management agencies have defended their rescue and recovery response to the record-breaking floods which claimed 13 lives earlier this year.
NSW Resilience Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons, State Emergency Service boss Carlene York and Rural Fire Service Commissioner Rob Rogers appeared on the final day of hearings before an upper house committee on Wednesday.
The inquiry is examining authorities' ability to save lives and property during the catastrophic floods and is separate to the government's own investigation.
