The NSW SES is implementing several measures to ensure the continuity of our operations and support our volunteers. When calling for emergency help during floods and storms, the NSW SES will 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 when providing emergency help. 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.
