18.01.2022 RU Ok day. Good day to start practicing these questions

18.01.2022 Grass pollen season is here, bringing an increased risk of asthma, hay fever and the chance of Thunderstorm Asthma. Learn how to help protect yourself from the... risk of Thunderstorm Asthma https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/thunderstormasthma To find out how to access Thunderstorm Asthma info on the VicEmergency app and website, watch this video: https://youtu.be/cLrzlt2IK3I

17.01.2022 Never to early or late to get prepared for fire season. Be prepared.

17.01.2022 Whilst you’re at home at present, take the opportunity to learn more about your local risk environment and how to prepare 1. Understand the local flood history in your suburb or township. There are a number of Local Flood Guides for at-risk townships across the State on the VICSES website at ses.vic.gov.au/get-ready/your-local-flood-information where you can get to know your local risk profile, potential impact areas and how a flood might behave in your local area.... 2. Take note to never drive on flooded roads. We know the number one cause of death during flooding is people attempting to drive through floodwater. It can take just 15 cm of water to float a small car. That’s the height of an average pen. Stay safe by never entering floodwater.

16.01.2022 Due to the nature of COVID-19, in recent times we’d taken a break from face-to-face skills maintenance and training to focus only on responding to emergencies. In the coming weeks, you might see us back out undertaking training in small groups to ensure we have the essential skills and capability required to respond to an emergency. Emergency services as a permitted industry are able to conduct critical training and exercising under the directions, as endorsed by the Victorian Chief Health Officer. Our volunteer members are following all the COVIDSafe principles, wearing masks and working hard to ensure we are there for our community. Thank you.

16.01.2022 Victoria Police continues to assist the Chief Health Officer in enforcing the new stage 3 restrictions for metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire. At checkpo...ints, motorists can expect delays so please allow extra time in these areas. Victoria Police would like to thank the community for their patience as we help slow the spread of coronavirus.

16.01.2022 Assistance from the public is a vital part of the ongoing response to avian influenza.

12.01.2022 As hay season approaches. Spontaneous ignition is the leading cause of haystack fire in Victoria, and just one damp bale is enough to ignite a haystack. There are a number of things you can do to minimise the likelihood of a haystack fire starting on your property, including:... Make sure hay is well cured before bailing Know the history of the hay you purchase Keep haystacks to a limited size Monitor moisture and temperature of your hay regularly Watch for unusual odours - such as pipe tobacco, caramel, burning or musty smells. Keep your haystacks safe as the weather starts to warm
