24.01.2022 Late post but here are some photos taken by hybrid teams of Lake mac and Cooranbong assisting Hornsby unit last week.

22.01.2022 We've had an interesting arvo we managed to get most of the new crew going through the storm and water damage course out on a job tonight which doubled as a training night exercise.

21.01.2022 The NSW SES is monitoring the ever changing situation in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. The safety and well-being of our members, and the wider community is... our highest priority. The NSW SES is implementing a number of measures to ensure the continuity of our operations and support our volunteers. Following advice from NSW Health, participation in non-essential community events, large meetings and ceremonies will be suspended. Volunteer training will be scaled back, but essential training will continue to maintain operational readiness. The NSW SES will continue to support communities become better prepared for severe weather events, and respond to communities in need over the coming months. When calling for emergency help during floods and storms, the NSW SES may ask you for additional information, including whether you are currently in isolation or have cold / flu symptoms so our volunteers can take additional safety precautions. We appreciate your assistance during this time. #NSWSES #covid19

19.01.2022 Well Cooranbong ses had an absolute blast yesterday just seeing how many members jumped at the idea to dazzle the trucks and members up to join the Cooranbong Rural Fire Brigade in escorting Santa around Cooranbong. Even the constant threat of rain didn't seam to dampen any Christmas spirits or stop everyone coming out. As usual with any rain or wind around if you need assistance in storms or floods call the NSW SES on 123500.

19.01.2022 Have you got a plan to ensure your pets will be safe? If you’re not at home when an emergency occurs, it’s worth having a simple chat to share your plan with family, friends or a neighbour. You can then have peace of mind they can help your animals if you’re not there.... www.getreadyanimals.nsw.gov.au #GetReadyAnimals

19.01.2022 As steady rain falls across the region there is the possibility of isolated heavy downpours in the mix that could result in flash flooding. If you are out and a...bout tonight please take things easy on the roads and be aware that some roads may have water across them. If you do come across a flooded road please turn around - there is always another way. Flash flooding consists of very fast rising water and water that rises quickly also drops quickly once rainfall eases. It's safest to wait it out not take unnecessary dangerous risks. Your family wants you around this Christmas and our volunteers don't want you to be our next flood rescue statistic. For emergency SES assistance call 132 500 For life threatening emergencies call 000 #FloodSafe

18.01.2022 A quick message put together by the newcastle ses unit.

Move vehicles under cover or away from trees. Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony. Stay vigilant and monitor conditions For emergency help in floods and storms, ring your local SES Unit on 132 500.
