🚨 Rockingham-Kwinana SES Update 🚨

Our volunteers are currently responding to a number of requests for assistance across the community as severe weather impacts our area.

While our crews are actively attending jobs, our unit remains open for residents seeking storm preparedness advice or needing to fill sandbags to help protect their properties.

If you're planning to collect sandbags, we kindly ask that you source your own sand and bags from local suppliers such as Bunnings where possible. Our supplies are limited and will be required to support emergency operations and community needs over the next 24 hours.

If your property has suffered storm damage and you require assistance with temporary emergency repairs, please contact the SES on 📞 132 500.

Please remember:
✅ Stay clear of fallen powerlines
✅ Avoid driving through floodwaters
✅ Secure loose outdoor items
✅ Keep up to date with weather warnings

Thank you to our volunteers who are working hard to support the community, and to everyone doing their part to prepare and stay safe.
