Into The Storm - Full Documentary | Monash SES
The February 13 storm that hit the City of Monash in 2024 was one of the worst that we've ever had to deal with, and with little warning, our volunteers came together to respond in force in the face of widespread devastation and storm damage. This documentary aims to highlight what it was like to be on the frontline of that storm for our members in orange, and to give you an insight into how we operate during a major natural disaster like this.

The years go on, but our volunteers at Monash SES never stop responding! 24/7, 365 days a year, our volunteers in orange go day in and day out to assist the community in storm and flood emergencies. This year was no different, with missing person searches, rescues, storm emergencies and casualty extrications, our volunteers’ skills were tested but they came out stronger than ever. Sit back and ...

The Duck Race | Monash SES

We train every week throughout the year, and sometimes when you do the same thing over and over again you can get a little bored… Well, the training team at VICSES Monash Unit thought they’d spice things up a bit and fire up our competitive spirits with a rubber ducky race. And no, this isn’t just for fun - creating water diversions during flood emergencies is critical in preventing further dam...

We do a lot of work together with our partner emergency services, and @FireRescueVictoria is no different.

It’s always fun to see the firetrucks, even as adults! This time though, the firefighters got the opportunity to have a peek at our SES vehic...

    Thank you so much for putting this together. My wife and I live in an adjacent area and experienced the storm. It's so valuable to have historical recorded accounts of these events (especially of this quality and substance) and the way that people respond. Thank you to all the amazing volunteers and service workers that give so much when these events occur!

    You guys DID do an amazing job... I took a day off work and was part of a crew that came in from another unit to help with the clean-up, and was blown away; by the damage from the storm (also never seen anything like it either - absolute carnage) and by the incredible level of organisation from the folks in Monash ICP. The way everyone worked together and jumped in to do what was needed made me super proud be be standing there in orange by your side. 🧡🤍

    Brilliant Job to everyone involved. If we want to get the message out to the public about just how much extra funding is required by VICSES, get this amazing doco out there, possibly one of the free to air tv stations may be inbterrested!!!!! Well done.

    Amazing. Thank you for sharing. Goose bumps. I recall that afternoon so well. I was so scared as my son was riding his motorbike on the freeway home from work. I just remember crying until I heard from him. Thankfully, he was able to seek shelter and was safe. I have never felt so worried and scared. Thank you for helping our community 🙏

    SES volunteers do an amazing job, with the support of not just their own families and friends, but the support of their “orange” family!! Not only their own SES Unit, but right across the State. We all do it for the same reason - to support the communities we live in. And the best reward for the sacrifices made? A simple handshake and “thanks mate, you guys do a great job”. 🧡
