Last Sunday the Unit was invited to the Bandon Grove Community Day. Bandon Grove is a small community of the Dungog Shire who during flood gets isolated due to the rising water around the town. Our Unit Commander had to opportunity to get up and talk to the residents on getting ready for the storm season. This also gave us a chance to explain the SES Warnings that get issued at certain times during storms, floods and Tsunami. The residents were keen to learn and also explain the areas of concerns. The local RFS were there also to inform the residents of the Fire Season.
The hall where the community day was held has been set up with internet, solar power and a AED so residents can go to during storms and floods to keep in contact with family and friends. It was a well arrange day for the locals to talk with the emergency services.
