24.01.2022 If youre setting off for a short break this afternoon, please allow plenty of time to get where youre going, and exercise patience with other drivers. Police ...anticipate higher than usual volumes of traffic departing major metropolitan and regional centres. Dont forget to take extra care when driving on unfamiliar roads, and in challenging weather conditions. Enjoy a safe Queens Birthday long weekend!

20.01.2022 Hot weather: preparation is the key With the 2018-19 summer starting tomorrow, the State Emergency Service (SES) is encouraging all South Australians to th...ink about how they are going to prepare for the expected hot weather. SES Chief Officer Chris Beattie says there is no better time than this weekend to start preparing the family home for the summer months. Spend an hour or so this weekend checking that your air conditioner, fans and outside shutters and awnings are in good working condition, Mr Beattie said. You may need to consider having your air conditioner serviced. This is always best done well ahead of any hot weather, he added. Mr Beattie said all South Australians, irrespective of where they live in the state, should expect to experience heatwaves over summer. We need to be mindful that heatwaves can have a detrimental impact on peoples health and wellbeing, Mr Beattie said. Heat-related illness can affect anyone, even the very fit, and can result in severe health issues. It can be fatal for many with older people, those with a pre-existing medical condition and young children and babies most at risk, Mr Beattie said. Mr Beattie there are plenty of simple ways people can protect their health. Coping with the heat largely depends on using common sense and being prepared, he said. During a heatwave, we advise people to stay cool, keep well hydrated and check on those people most at risk, such as elderly family members, friends and neighbours, to make sure they are coping with the conditions. Under no circumstances, should children or pets be left in a parked car, even with the air conditioner running, Mr Beattie said. Information on the forecast weather can be found on the Bureau of Meteorologys website www.bom.gov.au https://www.ses.sa.gov.au/public/download.jsp?id=125515

15.01.2022 If you are planning a camping trip for the school holidays, ensure you dont camp under trees. Heat can stress the branches and they could fall.

15.01.2022 Well done to Gavin and Paul for putting their hands up for this very important Training. As part of contingency planning for a potential second wave of COVID-19, SAAS is gaining support from other agencies. A group of SA State Emergency Service volunteers have put their hand up to bolster our frontline theyve been trained in driving our ambulance fleet, infection control, CPR and other emergency response requirements.... The first batch of training was completed last week, with a second batch scheduled for mid-July. For now, SAAS will maintain normal operations, but we are prepared to engage other agencies in our response, if we do experience a peak in demand due to COVID-19. Thank you to our emergency service colleagues for their eagerness to support our crews and patients. #weareatworkforyou

15.01.2022 The SA State Emergency Service strives to innovate & improve our services to the community & the implementation of our Remotely Piloted Aircraft (drone) p...rogram is one of many ways we are achieving this goal.

Here, SA State Emergency Service Chief Remote Pilot Jayme Moreland explains the benefits of using Remotely Piloted Aircraft to search for missing people & other ways they can be utilised to provide our volunteers with a technological advantage.

12.01.2022 It was terrific to receive correspondence from White Ribbon CEO Delia Donovan today confirming SA State Emergency Service has achieved White Ribbon accreditatio...n. Working with White Ribbon over the last eighteen months has been a key plank within our broader diversity and equity strategy and Im tremendously proud of the partnership and the agencys achievements to date. Our partnership with the White Ribbon organisation has focussed on specifically addressing the issue of gender discrimination and domestic violence within the workplace. It has also provided SASES with a structured framework to improve policies, procedures, training and communication. A diverse and inclusive organisations is founded on respect for all people and I see respectful relationships between members as being essential to support safer and more supportive work environments for women. Emphasising our values of respect and trust also goes a long way to mitigate the risk of interpersonal conflicts and problems. Well done and congratulations to all staff and volunteers involved. More information on our diversity and equity strategy and SASES White Ribbon accreditation program is available on the members portal https://www.sasesvolunteer.org.au//diversity_and_equity.jsp

08.01.2022 Never leave children or pets in a parked car. Even on a warm day, the temp inside a car can be 20-30 degrees hotter than outside. The impact of heat on a childs body is almost immediate and can be fatal. Keep your children with you and safely out of the heat. Heat can kill!
