17.01.2022 Thanks to Rob and the entire Redland SES Unit and our Redlands Coast Champions who have been assisting at the pop-up testing clinic. We had SES members from acr...oss our islands and mainland assisting yesterday, and they will continue to support our Metro South Health team over the coming days Remember: If you have the slightest symptom, please get tested. Once tested Isolate until you have the results and isolate if you are unwell Keep up the social distancing and if you cant wear a face mask Keep up good hygiene practices - wash your hands and sanitise regularly If you have any concerns about your health, contact your doctor or contact 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84).

16.01.2022 These are certainly strange times! Do the right thing and stay home but keep in touch with friends and loved ones by phone or social media! During this period your local SES Unit is still operational for any 132500 calls. ... Now is a good time to; - clean out the gutters and check for any loose tiles or holes in your roof - have you restocked your emergency kit from the last holiday/camping trip? - are the aged neighbours ok for food and essentials? (Dont put them at risk when checking on them, no physical contact, practice social distancing - phone is best!) - stay informed on whats happening with COVID-19 but dont over do it. Take time out to do other things! Like you, we are not holding any group meetings but staying in touch via video link ups and carrying out overdue maintenance to make sure we are ready to help you when needed. Some of our members will also be joining the public in uniform on ANZAC day by standing at the end of our driveways at 6am to honour the fallen - check out QLD RSL. Thats it from us for now. Stay home & stay well ! Redlands SES Unit

15.01.2022 Hope this helps some of our local businesses to get back on their feet!

15.01.2022 Are you ready for storm season?

15.01.2022 Its all about location, location, location!

15.01.2022 Come on down to Mt Cotton Community Park for Christmas Carols. Ask Councils Disaster Team and SES about getting ready for storm season using our new VR game and Ray about emergencies!

14.01.2022 Lets remember to stay connected, well after isolation. Some people live it every day. Someones life may depend upon it. Do you know who your neighbours are?

13.01.2022 Holy storm and cyclone season, Batman! Look at the bat-signal! This International Batman Day, join Bruce Wayne and the people of Gotham City by saving the SES contact number into your phone: 132 500. You can call this number to request flood and storm related assistance from the SES before, during or after wild weather hits. However, if the situation is life-threatening, please dial Triple Zero (000) immediately.... Do NOT nanananananananana call Batman.

13.01.2022 Since the rain started on Friday, Redlands SES has now had 88 jobs! Thank you for your patience whilst we have got to everyone. During these storms we have also performed a rescue for people in a vehicle driven through a flooded road and rendered medical assistance at a motor vehicle accident.... All sadly, avoidable. In the rain please drive to weather/road conditions and remember... If its flooded, forget it! Redlands SES

12.01.2022 Travelling south today? Dont get caught on flooded roads. Check out the Redland City Councils disaster dashboard! https://disaster.redland.qld.gov.au/

12.01.2022 Council has set up sandbagging operations across Redlands Coast at the following locations and times. Cleveland South Street, Council Depot - Entry via Sout...h Street Open until 6pm tonight and tomorrow from 7am - 6pm North Stradbroke Island, Dunwich Council Depot - Entry via Mitchell Crescent 24 hours - Self-help, please bring your own shovel Russell Island, Council Depot - Entry via High Street 24 hours - Self-help, please bring your own shovel Macleay Island Council, Depot - Entry via Scarborough Terrace From 7am tomorrow (28/10) then 24 hours - Self-help, please bring your own shovel. Please note: Maximum limit of 6 sandbags per household. Handy tips! Wear enclosed shoes Bring a buddy to help carry heavy loads and bend your knees when lifting. How do I fill a sandbag? - Sandbags only need to be filled to 2/3 full. - Do not over fill as they will be too heavy to carry. - A filled sandbag can weigh 15-20 kgs. How do I lay a sandbag? - Place down a layer of plastic sheeting to act as the water proofing membrane. - Lay sandbags like brickwork on top of the plastic sheeting. - Ensure the unfilled top part of the bag is covered by the next bag. - Tuck flap under the bag at the end of the row. Where do I place the sandbags? - Cover all drainage holes and floor drains to stop backflow of contaminated water. - Place a small sandbag wall across doorways. The number of layers required will be dependant on the expected flood height, however it is generally around two (2) sandbag rows high. - Make sure that you have at least one doorway that you can use to access or exit the building. - Air vents between brickwork may also require sandbags.

08.01.2022 Great to drop into Redlands SES this morning to see what happens behind the scenes. Lance had the opportunity to thank the volunteers for their dedication and ...commitment to our City.
