24.01.2022 We need your help!! Please share this post so we can locate a Good Samaritan who stopped to assist our Unit Controller at the scene of an accident yesterday’s a...pproximately 3.30pm. A young tradie stopped and assisted our Controller who was also driving past and stopped to render assistance to the injured cyclist until Ambulance Victoria arrived on scene. The incident was at the corner of Ferntree Gully Rd and Avonhurst Drive Glen Waverley at 3.30pm on Friday 20 November. If you know who the tradie is, can you please ask him to message us so we can thank him for his assistance. [email protected] or on our Facebook page. See more

22.01.2022 It was a wild ride across the Northern Suburbs last night and throughout Monday with Northcote Members responding to 70 requests for assistance. From building construction temporary fencing collapsing through wayward trampolines appearing in backyards your volunteers responded wholeheartedly. Unfortunately tree v car became something of a theme.

22.01.2022 Early morning Call to assist with a broken water main and stop a waterfall. Well Done Northcote Volunteers.

21.01.2022 The BoM have issued a severe weather warning for strong and gusty damaging northerly winds for southern parts of the State (including greater Melbourne) increasing on Saturday before contracting east. The strong northerly winds will again bring a risk of falling trees and VICSES is conscious of the risk given the sunshine and second step restrictions enabling two households to meet outside across greater metropolitan Melbourne. ... Three Victorian’s were tragically killed by falling trees in the strong winds on August 27 this year Strong northerly winds will again bring a risk of falling trees for large parts of the state on Saturday Peak gusts of around 100kmp/h are likely above 400m (including the Dandenong Ranges) with gusts increasing up to 110km p/h on Saturday morning Increased moisture in the soil from recent rain can compromise tree structures, whilst trees impacted by previous recent storm events may have dislodged branches or weakened structures which only elevates the risk Monitor conditions and remain vigilant to the risk on Saturday If you are outdoors and there are strong winds, avoid walking or sitting underneath trees. Monitor conditions and try to time your exercise or visit to the park outside of the strongest winds. The safest place to be during a storm is indoors Avoid unnecessary travel. Don’t be on the road if you don’t have to particularly in leafy areas. If you must be on the roads please drive to the conditions. For emergency assistance to floods or storms, phone the SES on 132 500. Some requests for assistance are a little more complicated than others:

08.01.2022 Today we joined the Bureau of Meteorology at Melbourne Sports Centres to talk on the rainfall outlook for the coming months. Above average rainfall this spring ...means an increased likelihood on flooding. It can take just 15cm of water to float a small car - that’s the height of the water shown in this Olympic sized pool. Never drive through floodwater.
