Saving lives and creating safer communities. | NSW State Emergency Service is a volunteer-based emergency service that is responsible for helping communities prepare and respond to floods, storms and tsunami. We also have specially trained volunteers that provide support to other emergency services during land searches, as community first responders, and even for vertical, urban, and road crash rescues. There are a number of exciting and rewarding ways you can get involved with our service, whether it be joining as a volunteer at one of our 250 units across the state, or even as a staff member.
