NSW SES Liverpool

👏👏👏Congratulations to recently qualified Land-based Flood Rescue Operators Harrison and Jason!
🏊Earlier this week, both these NSW SES Liverpool volunteers endured the Land-based Flood Rescue Course run at Penrith Whitewater Stadium. This demanding course provides learners the skills and knowledge to perform land-based swiftwater and floodwater rescues and recoveries as a member of a specialist team.

It was not an easy feat, well done boys and thank you to all the trainers and support team. Additional Flood Rescue Operators increase the flood rescue capability and ability to support the local community when needed most.💪

🚨 A new national warning system is being tested TODAY in the Liverpool area at 4pm in the area near the intersection of Heathcote and Newbridge Roads.

If you are in the test area, or neighbouring suburbs including Liverpool, Moorebank, Warwick Farm, Milperra and Casula, your mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and smart watches, may receive a test alert.

⚠️ Phones and devices that receive the test alert may vibrate and emit a loud, siren-like sound that will last for approximately 10 seconds.

This is a part of planned trials of the new system, AusAlert is designed to deliver faster alerts, reach more people and remain reliable even during network congestion.

🧡🧡National Volunteer Week is currently being observed, with Wear Orange Wednesday (WOW Day) today serving as a national tribute to State Emergency Volunteers across Australia who volunteer countless hours to provide critical support during natural disasters like floods, storms, and tsunamis.
Volunteers from Liverpool SES took a break from regular training last night, coming together to celebrate WOW day with a casual dinner and team-building event.🧡🧡

Today on ANZAC day, we pause to remember and honour the sacrifice of our brave ANZAC heroes who have served and continue to serve.
Lest We Forget 🇦🇺🇳🇿
