SES is the lead combat agency for Flood, Tsunami and Storm emergencies. Members complete VETAB accredited training in a variety of areas including Incident Management, Storm, General Rescue, Urban Search and Rescue, Flood Rescue and Land Search. Volunteers are trained and ready to help the community 24/7. Members can be called upon to assist across NSW and beyond.
In addition, members support other emergency agencies as they respond to emergencies – e.g. diverse fire support roles with RFS, searches and crime scene protection with Police, First Aid and bushwalker recovery with Ambulance, collapse/rescue with FRNSW.
