NSW SES Bellingen Unit The NSW SES Bellingen Unit is the local combat agency for Storms, Floods & Tsunamis

NSW State Emergency Service (SES) is an emergency and rescue service dedicated to assisting the community. We are a volunteer-based organisation that provides emergency assistance to the people of NSW 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. It is the approximately 9,000 volunteers across the state that make this possible. NSW SES Volunteers come from all walks of life, bringing with th

em many different skills, interests and backgrounds. They are united by the purpose of supporting their communities in times of need. While our major responsibilities are for flood and storm emergencies, NSW SES also provides the majority of general rescue effort in the rural parts of the state. This includes:
🚘 Road accident rescue
🧗 Vertical rescue
🥾 Bush search and rescue
👮‍♀️ Evidence searches (both metropolitan and rural) and other forms of specialist rescue that may be required due to local threats. Volunteers in a number of isolated communities have been trained as Community First Responders by the Ambulance Service of NSW. The organisations trained rescuers also support the full-time emergency services during major disasters. NSW SES also assists other emergency services when they are performing major operations. These services include the NSW Police Force, the NSW Rural Fire Service, Fire and Rescue NSW and the Ambulance Service of NSW.

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast the possibility of thunderstorms across Northern Rivers, Coffs and Clarence government areas starting tomorrow and continuing over the weekend.

Thunderstorm activity is forecast to bring localised heavy rainfall to some areas leading to flash flooding and residents are asked to be prepared. Please remember exact location of storms is hard to predict this far out.

Download the Hazards Near Me app or NSW SES website to stay across warnings as they are issued or updated.

NSW SES is getting ready to respond to any storm impacts and asks the community to:
⚡ Tie down loose items outside their homes
🏠 Clear their gutters and trim any overhanging branches
🚗 Move their car undercover or away from trees and powerlines
💧 If you come across a flooded road, turn around and find an alternative route. Steer clear of floodwater.

School’s out for another year, and the six-week holiday period has officially begun ☀️

Whether you’re travelling locally, heading overseas, or spending time at home, please remember to take steps that help keep you and your loved ones safe.

⛅️ Always check the weather forecast so you know what to expect both at home and at your destination. Make sure your home is prepared for changing conditions.
Remember - it's Storm Season, and afternoon thunderstorms are likely to make a few appearances.
Secure loose items in your yard before a storm, and park vehicles away from trees and powerlines.

🚗 Heading out on the roads? plan your trip using Live Traffic NSW and drive to conditions.

🥾 If you’re travelling into remote areas, hire a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) so emergency services can locate you quickly if needed.

🔥 In the summer months, there is an increased risk of fire danger. Follow the NSW Rural Fire Service for current fire information and advice.

Take care over the holiday period.

Thankyou to our amazing community who step up to be SES members.

In 2025, 4.9 million people in NSW stepped up to volunteer for a cause.

More than 11,000 of them were our members in orange, heading out into every storm and flood 🧡

Today, on International Volunteer Day, we celebrate those who selflessly give back to their communities. Whether it’s a shift at a Bunnings barbecue for the local kids’ sports club or preparing for a tropical cyclone, volunteers are an invaluable part of NSW - and the world.

To all volunteers everywhere: thank you. You inspire us every day.
