When a natural disaster strikes, such as storm, earthquake, or flood, State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers can be found assisting the local community and helping people get back on their feet.
SES volunteers offer a variety of services to assist with the aftermath of natural disasters. These services include emergency building repairs, search and rescue in urban and other environments and ground support responding to natural disasters.
The SES is a large organisation with many volunteers working behind the scenes as radio or computer operators, in administration, incident control, planning, and logistics. These diverse roles enable the entire community to participate and collaborate with the SES.
