SES volunteers provide emergency response to the community of South Australia 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The SES has 67 units across the state and over 1600 dedicated volunteers.
As the Hazard Leader and Control Agency for extreme weather in South Australia, the SES aims to increase community awareness and preparedness relating to extreme weather events. A well prepared community is better able to respond to and recover from an emergency. The SES website provides information about what to do in an emergency, how to protect your family and also information about how to become an SES volunteer.
