SES StormSmart Community Programme

At our June Members Meeting Read Hedditch, Controller Wodonga SES Unit was guest speaker.

Read outlined the StormSmart program which is currently being rolled out in Wodonga.

StormSmart is proactive community engagement programme aimed at preparing 'at risk' communities for flood and storm events.
Severe storms are a regular event throughout Victoria.

Many homes, businesses and other properties may suffer from the effects of storms.
Significant storm events can have a range of impacts on our community, including trees over roads, damaged powerlines, roofs torn from houses or places of employment and workplaces temporarily closed.

The StormSmart program actively informs us how to best deal with extreme weather and what we can do to prevent damages.
