Questions are being raised about the future of the facility's 200 staff and what a 'back office' merger between the two agencies would look like.

The report into the NSW floods recommended a "back office" merger between the SES and RFSThe Public Services Association and local MPs are calling for the jobs to be protectedIn Recommendation 12, the report suggested a "joined up" RFS/SES corporate support structure would be under the command of the RFS given its corporate and operational maturity.

"The reason being is the RFS over the last 20 years has grown into a full-time organisation and they are seasoned campaigners," Mr Fuller said at a media conference for the launch of the report. "Their ability to plan and use intelligence is well above even some of the other permanent agencies. To grow that in the SES would take years and years and years.

"This is an organisation which is effectively all hands to the pump during a natural disaster, they only have a bit over 300 staff."
