ACT SES Rivers Unit

✈️ Over the past 9 days, 7 Rivers Unit members have been deployed as part of a 20 strong ACT SES strike team in the Northern Territory.

🤝 Teams were sent to the town of Katherine to assist with the response and recovery from recent back-to-back major floods that have impacted the community.

Teams were faced with a range of taskings, from cutting up fallen trees, to helping clear out flooded houses. Additionally, teams worked alongside members from a range of jurisdictions, including the NT Emergency Service, SA SES, SA CFS, NSW SES and Fire Rescue Victoria.

🫶 A big thank you to all of our members’ families for supporting them while they put their lives on hold to assist the Northern Territory - they couldn't do it without you.
