NSW SES - Singleton Unit For emergency help in floods and storms, ring 132500. For life threatening emergencies call 000

The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) is an emergency and rescue service dedicated to assisting the community. It is made up almost entirely of volunteers, with 229 units located throughout New South Wales. The units comprise of approximately 10,000 volunteer members, who are easily identified by their distinctive orange overalls. While our major responsibilities are for flood and storm operations

, the SES also provides the majority of general rescue effort in the rural parts of the state. This includes road accident rescue, vertical rescue, bush search and rescue, evidence searches (both metropolitan and rural) and other forms of specialist rescue that may be required due to local threats. Volunteers in a number of isolated communities have been trained as Community First Responders by the Ambulance Service of New South Wales. The Service's trained rescuers also support the full-time emergency services during major disasters. The SES also assists other emergency services when they are performing major operations. These services include the NSW Police Force , the NSW Rural Fire Service , the Fire and Rescue NSW and the Ambulance Service of NSW .

It’s a wet start to the week for parts of the state with severe thunderstorms possible ☔️

Widespread moderate rainfall is forecast Monday to Wednesday morning, mainly along the ranges and western slopes on Tuesday.

For inland NSW and the ranges, localised heavy rainfall, flash flooding, damaging winds and large hail are all possible Tuesday before shifting along the northern coast and ranges on Wednesday.

Conditions are expected to settle late Wednesday or Thursday.

⚠️ A minor flood warning has been issued for Tumut River due to rainfall forecast from late Monday night into Tuesday.

🚗 Residents across the state are reminded to steer clear of floodwater. If you come across a flooded road, turn around and find an alternative route. Flash flooding can be dangerous and unpredictable. Stay vigilant.

📲 Stay across warnings using the Hazards Near Me app or head to the NSW SES website.

Happy 20th Birthday to our dedicated State Operations Centre (SOC) in Wollongong! 🎉🎈

Established in 2006, the SOC has become the operational heartbeat of the NSW SES, providing a central point for coordinating responses to floods, storms, rescue incidents, land search, and other emergencies in every corner of NSW.

When you call us on 132 500, our SOC is where your calls are received and then tasked to units! ☎️

Over 20 years, thousands of volunteers and staff have worked from or supported operations from the centre.

While technology and emergency management has changed a lot over the past 20 years, the commitment of the people working within it has not.

We're proud to celebrate this milestone and all the incredible work that has been achieved along the way 🥳

Last month Darlington Rural Fire Brigade had a job they thought NSW SES - Singleton Unit could have helped with.

Last night both units combined to run the scenario to make sure we could familiarise ourselves with our methods and work together.

Expect to see more cross unit training around town in future, all of Singletons’ emergency services are keen to be ready for next time.
