The often forgotten crew who end up with massive clean up jobs after storms, get called out after hours when we need bigger machinery or can't get a crew together. Thankyou

🎉🧡☔ A huge, warm thank you to our amazing Depot team, the SES, and emergency crews who spent last weekend out in the wild, wet weather helping the community with fallen trees, damaged roofs and blocked roads.

🫶💚 Thank you for helping keep everyone safe. Your hard work is vital and appreciated.

What a weekend our dedicated members have had. Saturday saw 4 of our members join others across gippsland intending to pursue an IMT pathway attend a Masterclass at Sale only to return home to put their training straight into practice as mother nature vented some fury over Leongatha. Others had also attended a Facilitator course in Leongatha the same day.
From 7pm Sat night till 5pm Sun volunteers cleared trees off roads, patched roofs, trees off buildings, water leaks, collapsed ceilings and broken aerials. Sunday also saw many of our members renewing their CPR and First Aid.
Thanks go out to our neighbouring unit at Foster coming to help us today, CFA helping with rescue job Sat night and Police keeping us safe managing traffic whilst we work.

Victoria’s weather is expected to take a turn this weekend, with forecast widespread rain and the potential for severe storms across parts of the state over the coming days.

The shift in conditions is a timely reminder for community members to be storm ready this spring and summer higher risk weather season. By taking simple actions such as trimming overhanging branches, clearing gutters and drains and tying down loose outdoor items, community members can significantly reduce their risk of damage if a storm develops.

Ahead of this weekend, community members can also stay up-to-date with any emergency warnings issued by downloading the VicEmergency app and establishing a personal watch zone.

For SES emergency assistance, call 132 500.
