Severe thunderstorms are expected again this afternoon, following a weekend of wild weather 🌪️⛈️

We received 140 incidents across NSW over the past few days, with a supercell thunderstorm near Yass causing significant damage including fallen trees and roof removals.

Our volunteers, alongside our friends at NSW Rural Fire Service, have worked tirelessly to complete clean up tasks, welfare checks and roof tarping.

⚠️ For the week ahead, there’s a possibility of severe thunderstorms in the Northeast and Southwest of the state today.

Thunderstorms are possible again in the Northeast tomorrow with severe storms likely as well.

Wednesday is likely to see showers and thunderstorms in southern inland areas.

📲 Ensure you keep across warnings and information with the Hazards Near Me app and make sure you stay ahead of the storm by preparing your home.

☎️ If you require assistance, give us a call on 132 500. In life-threatening emergencies, call Triple Zero (000).

Construction has now begun on what will be the largest SES Headquarters in NSW - Northern Zone HQ! 🚧

The NSW Government has invested in the purpose-built facility at Black Hill, which will be 4 times the size of the current headquarters.

The upgraded hub will include:
🔸 A state-of-the-art Incident Control Centre
🔸 Specially design work areas
🔸 Upgraded technology and amenities
🔸 Improved warehouse and storage facilities to house additional fleet vehicles and equipment

NSW SES Northern Zone spans 15 Local Government Areas and includes 32 SES units from the Central Coast to Nambucca Heads and west to Wauchope and Cessnock City.

“When severe weather and emergencies strike, communities rely on the NSW SES. This new headquarters will ensure teams have the facilities, resources and support they need to continue being there for communities when it matters most.” said Minister for Emergency Services Jihad Dib MP

Strengthening our emergency response across regional NSW!

Communities across Western NSW are now better supported during floods, storms, and emergencies with the official opening of our brand-new NSW SES Western Zone Headquarters in Dubbo.

Replacing a facility that has served us since the 1980s, this purpose-built headquarters is designed to meet the demands of modern emergency management across 49% of the state:

💙 Dedicated Level 3 Incident Control Centre for 50+ personnel during major events
🧡 Secure warehouse space for rescue boats, vehicles, and emergency supplies
💙 Facilities for flood rescue coordination, training, and community engagement

A huge thank you to the NSW Government and our incredible volunteers for bringing this state-of-the-art facility to life, keeping Western NSW safe for decades to come.
