🧭 NAVSHIELD 2026 | Belanglo State Forest 🌿

Four of our Taree City NSW SES members took part in the NAVSHIELD exercise held in Belanglo State Forest on Saturday.

The night before the event, teams were provided with their mapping plots and maps and had to accurately plot the checkpoints and plan their route / strategy in preparation for the challenge ahead.

At 9am, our team set out into the bush with their maps, compasses and packs, ready to put their navigation and teamwork skills to the test.

Over the 9-hour event, the team trekked more than 20 kilometres through the forest, successfully locating every checkpoint they set out to find and clocking up an impressive 540 points along the way! 👏

There were plenty of laughs, teamwork and good times along the way, making it a fantastic day out while putting some valuable navigation skills to the test.

A fantastic effort from all four members — well done team! 💪🧭

This weekend, some of our Taree City SES members headed up to Coffs Harbour with members from all around the state to collect a very exciting addition to our unit - a Unimog! 🚛🧡

But before bringing it to Taree, our members have spent the weekend getting to know the vehicle, learning how it operates, understanding its capabilities and building the skills needed to safely use it during future operations.

The Unimog will be housed at the Taree City Unit but will be used throughout our cluster, giving all our units another valuable capability to support our community when it matters most whether that’s during floods, storms, road incidents or other emergencies.

A huge thank you to our members who have given up their weekend to undertake the training and get this impressive piece of equipment ready for its new home. 👏

We can’t wait to have it in Taree and our local area and put it to work supporting our community and surrounding areas! 🧡🚨

What you do need is:
✔️ A willingness to learn.
✔️ A desire to help your community.
✔️ A positive attitude.
✔️ Teamwork.

Our volunteers respond to storms, floods, land searches and community events, while building lifelong friendships and valuable skills.

Whether you can give a few hours a month or more, there’s a place for you.

Together, we make our community stronger 🧡

💡 Did you know NSW SES volunteers do much more than respond to storms?

Depending on the situation, volunteers may assist with:
🧡 Storm damage
🌊 Flood response
🔍 Land searches
🎓 Community education
🏫 School visits
🎪 Community events

Our role is all about helping people before, during and after emergencies.

That’s why we say we’re here for our community, not just during bad weather 🧡

🎒 Would your family be ready if the power went out tonight?

An emergency kit doesn’t have to be expensive—but it can make a huge difference during severe weather.

Your kit should include:
🔦 Torch
🔋 Spare batteries
💧 Drinking water
🥫 Non-perishable food
🩹 First aid kit
📻 Battery-powered radio
📱 Phone charger or power bank
📄 Copies of important documents

Keep your kit somewhere easy to access and check it every six months to replace expired items.

Taking 15 minutes today could save you hours of stress during an emergency.

04/08/2026

Sometime recently, someone stole an emergency generator from the Taree City SES Unit.

To most people, it’s a generator.

To us, it’s a piece of equipment that could have been helping support our volunteers during flood operations, or assisting members of our community when the power is out and they need us most.

Our volunteers give up their time, leave their families, and answer the call at all hours of the day and night to help complete strangers. We do it because we care about this community.

To have emergency equipment stolen from those volunteers is incredibly disheartening.

Every piece of equipment we have is there for one reason, to help people. Taking it doesn’t just affect the SES; it affects the entire community that relies on us during emergencies.

If you know anything about this theft, or if you’ve seen or been offered a generator that seems suspicious, please contact NSW Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Even the smallest piece of information could make a difference.

To our community we thank you for always standing behind us. We know the actions of one person don’t reflect the values of our incredible region, and we appreciate your ongoing support more than you know🧡

🌊 Floodwater is deeper and more dangerous than it looks.

Every year, people are injured or lose their lives after attempting to drive through floodwater.

Even shallow water can:
🚗 Sweep away a vehicle.
🛣️ Hide damage to the road.
🌊 Move much faster than it appears.

If you come across a flooded road:

❌ Don’t drive through.
❌ Don’t walk through.
❌ Don’t ride through.

Turn around and find another route.

No destination is worth risking your life.

This weekend, our unit was proud to host a Cluster Field Core Skills Course, bringing together SES volunteers from across the region to build and strengthen the practical skills that are at the heart of what we do.

From hands-on training to sharing knowledge and experience, the weekend was a fantastic opportunity to develop capability, build confidence and strengthen the connections between our neighbouring units.

A huge thank you to all of the participants for your enthusiasm and commitment, our dedicated trainers and assessors for sharing their expertise, and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make the weekend a success.

Every course like this helps ensure our volunteers are ready to respond when our communities need us most.

Well done to everyone involved, we’re proud of what was achieved this weekend! 👏🧡
