5 fun facts about the NSW SES.
🚨 1.The NSW SES has more than 10,500 volunteers spread across hundreds of units across the state. That's enough people to fill a small country town!
🌧️ 2. Storms keep the SES busiest
While many people associate the SES with floods, storm damage jobs such as leaking roofs, fallen trees, and damaged buildings make up a huge portion of callouts every year.
🚁 3. SES volunteers can be deployed anywhere in Australia
When major disasters strike interstate, NSW SES volunteers often pack their bags and head off to help communities hundreds or even thousands of kilometres away.
📱 4. The famous number is 132 500
Need help with flood or storm damage? The SES number is 132 500. It's one of the most recognised emergency numbers in NSW after Triple Zero.
🐨 5. SES volunteers rescue more than just people
Over the years, volunteers have helped rescue everything from dogs and cats to horses, cattle, and native wildlife trapped by storms and floods. Some SES members have stories that sound like they're straight out of a movie!
Bonus Fun Fact 🎉
The orange uniform wasn't chosen by accident. The bright colour makes SES volunteers highly visible during storms, floods, road crashes, and search operations, helping keep both volunteers and the public safer.

📍 Ravensdale Recon
Our awesome Flood Rescue vehicle was looking right at home in the winter sunshine yesterday as our crew carried out reconnaissance activities around Ravensdale.
One of the highlights of the day was meeting several local residents who stopped to say hello and share their knowledge of the area. Local insight is incredibly valuable and helps us build a better understanding of the communities we serve.
A big thank you to everyone who took the time to chat with us. Your experience and local knowledge play an important role in helping us prepare for future emergencies.

❄️ Winter Has Arrived on the Central Coast ❄️

Today marks the first day of Winter.

The days are shorter, the mornings are crisper, and the nights are definitely getting colder. It's the time of year when the ugg boots come out of hiding, electric blankets are switched on, and many of us find ourselves reaching for an extra jumper before heading out the door.

Winter can bring cold, wet and sometimes miserable weather, but no matter what the season throws our way, your Wyong SES volunteers stand ready to help.

Whether it's storm damage, fallen trees, leaking roofs, flood assistance, or responding during severe weather events, our dedicated volunteers are ready to help.

While we can't stop Winter from arriving, we can help our community stay safe through it.

From the first chilly morning of Winter to the hottest day of Summer, and every day in between, your Wyong SES Unit is ready, willing and proud to serve our community.

Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy everything a Central Coast Winter has to offer. 💙🧡
