Wear Orange Wednesday (WOW) is happening on Wednesday 20 May 🧡🟠🟧🔶

WOW Day is a day to celebrate and say 'thank you' to our SES volunteers who serve their communities 24 hours a day, seven days a week through storms, floods, rescues, and so much more.

As Australia’s largest road crash rescue network, our volunteers see the effects that road trauma has on our communities first-hand. That’s why we’re joining AMBER Alert to Shine a Light on Road Safety.

There are lots of ways you can get involved including joining the Albert Park Lake walk on Sunday 24 May.

Tonight our volunteers headed bush to sharpen their search and rescue and casualty handling skills. Hands-on training like this is vital in preparing for real-life emergencies, ensuring our team is ready to respond when the community needs us most.

⛈️ Hang tight for heavy rainfall! ⛈️

Large parts of the State, including Melbourne, are in for a battering today as a slow-moving storm impacts central and eastern districts from late this morning and into the afternoon.

It might seem sunny in some areas for now, but don’t be fooled by the early morning sunshine.
Around 40-70mm of rain is possible in some areas, with a serious risk of flash flooding that could cover roads and damage homes.

People out and about today are urged to drive to the conditions, allow extra travel time and stay alert for hazards such as fallen trees, downed powerlines and floating debris.

Our Victoria State Emergency Service volunteers are ready to respond when and where they are needed. Call 132 500 if you need assistance.

Stay up to date with the latest emergency information via the VicEmergency app or website emergency.vic.gov.au.
