The State Emergency Service (SES) is a volunteer based organisation that provides support to the community in times of emergency and disaster.
Storm and flood emergencies
As SES have limited resources, please ensure that your situation is an emergency before you call. In an event, the SES may be overwhelmed with requests for assistance and may not be able to get to you for hours or possibly days.
Before calling the SES, consider whether you can help yourself by placing a bucket under a leak, repositioning furniture or placing a tarp over furniture.
You can call the SES for the following assistance during emergencies:
- Trees / branches down blocking access to your home
- Major flooding
- Access to tarpaulins for homes
- Access to sandbags
The SES is not available to undertake general maintenance on leaking roofs or cleaning blocked gutters during rain or severe weather events. If you rent your property, contact the owner or manager for maintenance issues. This should be done prior to the wet season.
The SES require the owner's permission to enter a property or access a roof.
Power will be turned off by the SES prior to accessing a roof. It will be your responsibility to reconnect the power.
All other emergencies
Phone triple (000) for other life threatening emergency situations.
