24.01.2022 After South-East Queensland was impacted by giant hail last weekend, (QFES) requested NSW SES support. Proudly 6 members of the Ulladulla Unit answered the call. Setting off for a 5 day deployment Bill, John, Garry, Jason, Lachlan and Tracy, will do us proud flying the Ulladulla flag. Travel safely team.

23.01.2022 Potential for more rain - see Severe Weather warning from www.bom.gov.au Thanks to SES volunteers out and about in the rain today. Take care out there! Remember if you need sand bags or assistance from SES call 132 500 or 000 if life threatening.

18.01.2022 On International Volunteers Day we want to take a moment to thank all those that help us do what we do - our heartfelt thanks to our families, to all our spontaneous volunteers and to volunteers with our local Rotary, Lions, Apex, Treading Lightly, MU Men’s Shed, CWA, RFS, NSWFR, other SES Units and everyone else who has lent a hand helping our community in the last year! #togetherforresilientcommunity

16.01.2022 Today is World Tsunami Awareness Day, it’s the perfect time to remember that, as much as we like to think that Tsunamis are something that happen to other countries, the 1960 Chilean Tsunami proves that we are not immune. In the 1960 event waves up to 1m in height reached the NSW coast, with widespread impacts from Ballina to Eden, including areas as much as 10km upstream from the coast on the Hawkesbury, Georges and Clyde Rivers. The effects of the Tsunami were felt right he...re in New South Wales with waves injuring people and forcing others to flee. By sheer luck, the waves came at low to moderate tide levels in most locations, limiting damage mostly to moored boats, marine infrastructure and oyster farms. Even so, two people were injured, given population growth and coastal development since 1960, a similar event today would be likely to have a far more significant impact especially if it arrived at a high tide level. Do you know the risks of a Tsunami locally? Find out if you’re in the Tsunami Evacuation Area. Act early on the first warning you hear. NSW SES Tsunami safety advice states people go to higher ground, at least 10m above sea level, or if possible move at least 1km away from all beaches water’s edge of harbours and coastal estuaries. Please refer to ses.nsw.gov.au for the most up to date information. #TsunamiDay #Plan2Survive

09.01.2022 Whilst the severe weather warning has eased for our patch we still have winds gusting to 44km/hr and very wet ground - 140mm so far this event and still raining. Take care on the roads - some closures as creeks break their banks. Porters Creek Dam has overtopped. If it’s flooded forget it! If you need assistance our flood, storm and rescue volunteers are on standby. Call SES on 132 500 or 000 if life threatening.

09.01.2022 Great fun was had by all at Wednesday night’s search training. Errol was found and recovered - and the boats got a good run too! Keeping our skills up! Great crew! Thanks Bill for coordinating.

08.01.2022 A short drone video - so useful - of one job today at our Queensland deployment. The hail damage was extensive - only now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. A privilege to be able to help in some small way....

07.01.2022 Severe weather warning issued for strong winds this afternoon. Keeping an eye on potential thunderstorms too. Our training continues so we can better help our community - yesterday proud to be able to assist NSW SES create training videos for First Aid learning. If the winds cause damage at your place this weekend and you need SES assistance call 132 500 or 000 if Life Threatening- stay hydrated and stay safe!

06.01.2022 Severe weather warning cancelled but not before three teams supported our community in the field ably backed up by a strong team in Operations. 19 requests for assistance completed. Lots of trees and some interesting roof and wall jobs. Gave the refurbished medium Storm Truck a good welcome to the local area. Thanks team!

06.01.2022 Heard the rumbling. Storm clouds about. Our area now part of the severe thunderstorm warning. Put your car under cover. Stay 8m from downed power lines. Consider your need for outdoor time. Possible wind, heavy sudden rain and hail. Take care. If you need SES assistance we are a call away - phone 132 500 or 000 if life threatening.

05.01.2022 It is good to be reminded why we say not to enter flood waters. Check out this video. Minor to moderate flooding is expected in the Northern Rivers over the next few days. We are not expecting flooding rains in the Shoalhaven but there is likely to be some rain every day this week. If you are travelling north for holidays please take extra care, keep up to date with bom.gov.au or NSW SES Facebook page. Stay safe. If you need help from SES call 132 500 or 000 if life threatening.

02.01.2022 Today at 11am we will complete our Queensland deployment. What a fitting time to remember others....
