This Wednesday 20th May is WOW DAY ( Wear Orange Wednesday ). Staff at businesses in Kempsey are encouraged to wear something orange on Wednesday to show their support for the work the volunteers at SES do through out the year. If you are wearing something orange on Wednesday contact the SES page and I’ll call in sometime during the day and take a photo and post it on the SES page that afternoon

Members of the Macleay Valley SES Units send condolences to the families, friends and members of Marine Rescue NSW, as well as all those effected by the tragedy off Ballina Bar last night.
Not only the loss of life from Marine Rescue NSW but also the loss of life from the vessel they were responding to
This is a timely reminder of what emergency services can face every time they answer a call for help, frequently in the most challenging and dangerous conditions
Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time

Kempsey SES unit media officer Greg Gill spoke to the staff of 3 businesses in the CBD today. Joshua Fairhall recently opened Phone Tel /Jaycar a new business in Belgrave Street, Ash Middleton the new owner of the Gourmet Chicken Shop in the Kempsey Central shopping centre and Kaylee Foran a staff member at Macleay Air which relocated to Stuart Street. All 3 businesses were given a copy of the critical flood heights so they are better prepared and can make informed decisions during the next major flood
