A new national disaster management agency will be created to help Australians get through their "darkest hours" with severe flooding likely to be on the way as the nation approaches a "high risk" weather season.

Emergency Management Minister Murray Watt announced the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) will come into effect from Thursday, and lead the country's response to natural disasters.
