Community Events
Community Workshops
Community workshops give you a chance to meet with SES staff and volunteers, find out about flooding in your community and develop a Family Flood Plan that meets your family's unique needs. Over the three-hour workshop, you learn about the flood threat and what effects flooding will have on your community, find out what your council and State Emergency Service Unit are already doing, talk about your concerns and get answers to your questions. Most importantly, you can find out about basic, simple measures you can take right now to help your family stay safer in floods.
Displays
Visiting a FloodSafe display is an excellent way of finding out about flooding on the Hawkesbury-Nepean River. You can talk to SES volunteers on how your family and/or business can be prepared for floods which includes putting together an emergency kit, knowing your evacuation routes and who to call in an emergency.
Displays at events in the Hawkesbury-Nepean area, including at the Hawkesbury and Penrith Shows and Rescue Expos are a great opportunity to meet your local SES volunteers and ask questions about flooding and being flood prepared.
Please contact us to request a display at your fete, show, festival or other community event.
Media Events
The media are important partners in community safety. The FloodSafe program includes initiatives to inform the media on the flood threat and how they can help.
Media products such as community service announcements, information posters, stories and articles have been produced and can be distributed to media outlets as a way of educating the community of the flood history on the Hawkesbury-Nepean River and to warn and inform the community of what to do in flood events.
You are welcome to contact us for more media information.
