Community Events

The SES is partnering with local Council's to raise awareness of flood risk and assist residents and businesses to prepare for and defend their properties in a flood event. One of the ways which our volunteers are engaging with residents in flood-prone areas is by holding regular Community Events.  

If you would like to know more about Community Events in your local area phone Andrea Haig on 8463 7931 or mobile 0407 794 756 for more details. You can also register your interest by filling in this online form.

Rotary Club Plant Sale 

19 March 2011

The Rotary Club held a plant sale at Waite Reserve, Blackwood and asked FloodSafe if we would like to attend. The volunteer FloodSafe members jumped at the opportunity To talk to the local community about the dangers of floods and how they can help to prevent some damage until SES arrive at their location to assist them.
