Please be patient when doing so as the service is very inundated with calls for help right now. Please also be aware that we are not a handyman service and can only provide temporary repairs. Also to help prevent flooding and leaking rooves make sure gutters are cleaned out and not overflowing. We are on hand to provide assistance if required.

14.01.2022 SCHOOLS OUT The #holidays are a joyful time of year and we want everyone to be safe. Remind the little ones and the big ones about the dangers around play...ing outside during flood and storms, and to steer clear of flash flooding, particularly around storm drains, fast-moving rivers and creeks. #Floodwater is filled with debris, bacteria and much more that could cause illness and injury. Roads and surfaces could wash away, and may not be seen from the surface. Know your risk http://bit.ly/2kNv2zC If you knew what was in it, you wouldn’t go in it! Stay safe. #stormdrains #communitynotice #summersafety

11.01.2022 REMINDER RE NSW SES PROCEDURES | COVID-19 With the ongoing COVID-19 situation the NSW SES will continue to follow COVID-19 call taking and response procedures so our volunteers can stay safe whilst helping communities during storms and floods. In taking your call for emergency assistance we will ask if anyone at the property has flu-like symptoms or has been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus. NSW SES will still respond to your request if you say yes to any or both of thes...e questions. They will just use this information to use risk mitigation strategies so they can stay safe. While our NSW SES Response Team is traveling to your property, they may contact you via mobile phone seeking pictures or videos of the damage to your home or business. NSW SES volunteers will maintain appropriate physical distancing whilst at your property and may need to communicate with you via mobile phone in some circumstances. We may also provide self- help advice so you can do temporary repairs to your own home or business. We will only do this if appropriate and safe to do so, given the circumstances and nature of the damage and actions required to make your property safe. We appreciate your support whilst we implement these important measures so we can continue to provide emergency services to the community while protecting the safety of our volunteers. For emergency assistance in storms and floods call NSW SES on 132 500.

10.01.2022 HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

04.01.2022 FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST ***Severe Thunderstorm Warning*** for HEAVY RAINFALL and DAMAGING WINDS... Large parts of the Hunter included although not every location will be under the storm. Slow moving thunderstorms in central and northeastern parts of the state. Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding and damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours.

03.01.2022 If you need emergency help do you always know where you are? Will the person you are talking to know where you are? Often when people are calling for help as they do not know where they are which can make it hard for Emergency service to get to them and render the assistance that is required. This is something that can be overcome with one great app designed by the Australian government. Emergency + uses the GPS in your phone to provide you with your Location in a way that yo...u can communicate to the call taker to allow emergency services to know where you are. Emergency + can be downloaded directly from your device’s app store. . See more
