Being prepared is the first defence to weather events. Check out SES website and see what you can do to be prepared 🌊☔️⛈️🌬️

It might be one day, one week, or one month away. But a storm will come. The best thing you can do to protect yourself and your property is to prepare for the worst.

Preparation for a weather event start before it hits. Prepare now. ⛈️💨☔️

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.

*******POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER COMING ********

From Wednesday through to Friday this week some possible severe weather will impact Victoria, including Bass Coast and South Gippsland. A reminder to be safe on wet and slippery roads, secure loose objects around your home and watch for large waves and hightides on our coastline. Maybe give rock fishing a miss this week. Stay safe out there.

Thanks SES Phillip Island - please be prepared for potential weather coming. And if you need assistance in a weather event call 132500 and as the song says “ we’ll be there”

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 parking or establishing your campsite underneath trees, 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.

It’s everyone’s responsibility to keep our roads safe. Take the ‘Pledge to Drive so Others Survive’

Today marks the start of National Road Safety Week. This year's theme is 'Pledge to Drive so Others Survive', giving us all an opportunity to make sure we're looking out for each other on the roads.

To start the week, it is important to remember the 1,300 lives lost on Australian roads each year. Over 40,000 people are also injured each year on our roads.

All road users have a small but important role to play in helping to reduce lives lost and injuries.

Emergency services have a vital role in responding to accidents, saving lives and making sure road users are driving safely. Shout out to the following Victorian emergency services that respond to incidents and proactively keep us safe:

CFA (Country Fire Authority)
Fire Rescue Victoria
Victoria State Emergency Service
Ambulance Victoria
Victoria Police
Echuca Moama Search & Rescue Squad
Shepparton Search and Rescue Squad
