23.01.2022 BE PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER - JOIN THE NSW SES Right across Northern NSW during the past six weeks, NSW SES volunteers from across the state have come together to assist communities affected by flood water. It is yet another great example of the community helping each other through crisis.... Our volunteers have undertaken so many vital roles in assisting flood affected communities and they have done an amazing job at it. What have our members been up to: Collecting flood data and images of the water impacting communities to help prepare for future events. Conducting patrols of flood affected areas to ensure the communities which are affected remain safe. Undertaking remote restocking of isolated communities and properties with food, water and medical supplies. Patrolling river systems and undertaking flood rescues when community members get stuck in flood water. Hosting community barbeques and other engagement events to inform and connect with local communities. There are so many options to assist your community by being a member of the NSW SES- and you'll get plenty of training and new skills while you are at it! If you have been inspired by our wonderful volunteers during this current flooding and would like to enquire about joining the NSW SES and helping your community - register your interest to join by clicking here https://bit.ly/3lms7cc We hope to hear from you.

22.01.2022 #BePrepared With thunderstorm activity over NSW expected to develop over the east of the state from today, there is the possibility of localised and flash flooding in some areas across NSW Friday and Saturday. Whilst no warnings have been issued at this stage, thunderstorm warnings are likely to be issued throughout this period, particularly on Friday and Saturday. Depending on the volume of rain received in catchments, flood warnings could also be issued should catchments... receive sufficient rainfall. If you come across floodwaters, please turn around, crossing flooded roads or causeways is not worth the risk. If it's flooded - forget it! Over the next few days, be sure to visit the Bureau of Meteorology for the latest weather warnings affecting your location. http://bit.ly/2wuOXWt #GetReady See more

We would like to remind all Australians to not only reflect on the sacrifices made, but to offer support to all past and present defence personnel who may need it. ... #LestWeForget #volunteers #ANZACDay
