This week paramedics from Mansfield Ambulance Victoria joined Mansfield SES for some interagency training. SES members became more familiar with the contents and functionality of the ambulances, including how to load patients.
SES really values working together with our fellow emergency service workers and refining our skills.

We're seeing flooding impacts across the state this morning on the back of heavy rainfall, including response for flood rescues.

Floodwater is dangerous. It can take as little as 15cm of flowing water to float a car. Never, ever enter floodwater.

If you are driving and encounter floodwater, turn around and find an alternative travel route. Don’t risk it.

Stay up to date with the latest weather warnings via the Bureau of Meteorology www.bom.gov.au and emergency warnings and incidents via VicEmergency www.emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/

If you need flood emergency assistance from SES, call 132 500

Stay safe out there.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Damaging Winds has been issued with fast moving storms heading east across the Mallee and Wimmera, affecting areas including Mildura, Ouyen, Murrayville, Rainbow, Walpeup and Nhil. Expect damaging winds and heavy rain with possible flash flooding.

With school holidays underway, take extra care around rivers, creeks and lakes as water levels can rise quickly. If camping, avoid trees and low lying areas near waterways.

If conditions become dangerous, stay indoors. If driving, pull over safely away from trees, drains and floodwater. If you need SES help, please call 132 500.

With wet and windy weather anticipated throughout this first week of school holidays, community members are urged to stay vigilant around their flood and storm risk, particularly if travelling away from home.

Significant rainfall is forecast across parts of the state over the coming days, which could see river rises and the potential for flash flooding in some areas.

If camping these holidays, avoid establishing your campsite underneath trees or in low-lying areas near rivers and streams, as water levels may rise quickly and without warning.

Community members can stay safe by allowing additional time when travelling, driving to the conditions and never entering floodwater.

To stay up-to-date with any warnings, download the VicEmergency app and establish a personal watch zone for your immediate area. If you require SES emergency assistance, call 132 500.
