We’re out and about now for the Good Friday Appeal!

Keep an ear out for our trucks as we head around the community today with lights flashing and donation tins in hand, raising funds for The Royal Children’s Hospital

If you see us, please give us a wave and, if you can, make a donation — because every amount, big or small, makes a real difference in helping the hospital continue its incredible work for sick children and their families.

We’ll also have donation tins and EFTPOS available at the Station (97 Pt Nepean Rd, Dromana) so there are plenty of ways to contribute.

Thank you for supporting this amazing cause and helping us make a difference together 💛🚒

What you should do:
The Victoria State Emergency Service advises that people should:
* If driving conditions are dangerous, safely pull over away from trees, drains, low-lying areas and floodwater. Avoid travel if possible.
* Stay safe by avoiding dangerous hazards, such as floodwater, mud, debris, damaged roads and fallen trees.
* Be aware - heat, fire or recent storms may make trees unstable and more likely to fall when it's windy or wet.
* Check that loose items, such as outdoor settings, umbrellas and trampolines are safely secured. Move vehicles under cover or away from trees.
* Stay indoors and away from windows.
* If outdoors, move to a safe place indoors. Stay away from trees, drains, gutters, creeks and waterways.
* Stay away from fallen powerlines - always assume they are live.
* Be aware that in fire affected areas, rainfall run-off into waterways may contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks. Heavy rainfall may also increase the potential for landslides and debris across roads.
* Stay informed: Monitor weather warnings, forecasts and river levels at the Bureau of Meteorology website, and warnings through VicEmergency website/app/hotline.
