This is a timely reminder from Marong SES.
Although its not currently raining, there is still alot of ground water aswell as full catchments and waterways. Never drive through flood waters. If it's wet forget it. Seek an alternative route.
Marong SES has been called to multiple rescues this week. It puts our members safety at risk. Flood waters are dangerous, you wouldn't drive through a bushfire, flood waters need to be given the same level of respect. Make good decisions and stay safe. Incase of emergency call 000.

Our volunteers are often called out at all hours of the day and night to support our community. Today was no exception with the pager calling crews out to some flooding jobs. We would like to send out a massive THANK YOU to our friends at ASQ Garden and Landscape for donating some sand so that we could fill some sandbags to help protect local homes. Your generosity and support was a warm moment in a soggy day.

Just a reminder that flood water can continue to rise long after the rain stops.

Never walk drive or swim in flood water, submerged hazards, chemicals and biological hazards are almost guaranteed.

If it's flooded, forget it.
