Yesterday our unit was busy after receiving 8 requests for assistance after the storm on Sunday night.

All of these jobs involved trees and tree branches falling down, with some trees blocking access to road, driveways or causing damage to roofs.

A shout out to our team who were out and about yesterday 🧡

Hey Queanbeyan, we could see heavy rain 🌧️ and thunderstorms ⛈️ tonight (Wednesday 1 July).

A fast moving cold front is passing through the ACT region, and could bring with it lots of rainfall and strong winds, especially in the alpine region.

The NSW State Emergency Service is ready to assist the Queanbeyan and surrounding m community, but we need you to prepare too.

⚠️Take it easy on the roads and drive to the conditions;
⛈Keep away from rivers, creeks, stormwater drains and catchments;
🚗Move your car under cover and away from trees;
🔒Secure or put away loose items;
🚧Never drive, walk or ride through floodwater.

If you need assistance during a storm, call the NSW State Emergency Service on 132 500.

The new national warning system - AusAlert - is being tested in Queanbeyan this weekend.

At around 2:00 pm on Sunday 21 June 2026, your mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert. The notification will vibrate and include a loud siren-like sound that lasts about 10 seconds.

The AusAlert test in your area is a Priority Alert. If receiving it could disrupt you or cause you or someone you know to feel unsafe, visit the AusAlert website at ausalert.gov.au to find out how to turn a Priority Alert off on your device.

This is part of planned trials of the system, to ensure it works when it mattersmost.

Last night our members had a good old fashion games night at training, where we enjoyed playing Monopoly with a special SES theme together with some delicious food!

Nothing beats a bit of light-hearted competition 💪

Thank you NSW SES for the Monopoly sets and NSW SES South Eastern Zone for the dinner 🧡💙

Last night our unit held a large scale simulated exercise to test our skills. With 19 live casulties, our teams had to access dark, obstructed areas to locate, treat and extricate these casualties.

To make this exercise as realistic as possible, some of our newer members were provided with moulage to give them injuries likely to occur in this type of scenario.

We were deeply saddened to hear about the tragic death of two marine rescue volunteers. This is an unfortunate tragedy that highlights the challenging circumstances that emergency services be them paid or voluntary work in daily.

Our thoughts are with everyone at Marine Rescue NSW today and especially with the families of those gone too soon.

Today we remember those who served and those who still serve. Their strength shapes our nation’s story.Lest we forget.
