A strong cold front is expected to move across Victoria this weekend, with the worst conditions forecast from Sunday into Monday, bringing widespread rain, strong winds and the potential for localised flooding.

VICSES is urging Victorians to prepare now by:

• Securing loose outdoor items.
• Clearing gutters and drains.
• Staying up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings through the VicEmergency app.
• Avoiding unnecessary travel during severe weather where possible.

Those travelling to the alpine region should remain vigilant as conditions can change. Download the VicEmergency app and set up a Watch Zone for your destination to receive the latest info.

For emergency assistance due to storms or floods, call SES on 132 500.

🧡 Wear Orange Wednesday (WOW Day) 🧡

Today we celebrate and thank the incredible VICSES volunteers who dedicate their time to helping communities right across Victoria.

From storms and floods to rescues and road crash incidents, SES volunteers are there when people need help most — day or night, rain or shine.

At Kerang SES, our members proudly volunteer their time to support and protect our local community, and today is a chance to recognise the commitment, training, and sacrifices our volunteers make every single year.

Whether you wear orange today, give a wave to a volunteer, or simply say thank you, your support means a lot to our members.

And to our Kerang and wider community, thank you for your ongoing support of our local unit. It truly means the world to our members.
Head down to Victoria Street in between 10am-1pm to have a chat with a few Kerang SES members and grab a free sausage in bread on us to say thank you 🧡

Wear orange, snap a pic 📸 and share it to show your support! or inbox our page🧡🚨

Why not consider joining VICSES and becoming part of the orange family.
