Cleaning pipes, drains and gutters around your property can reduce the risk of property damage from heavy rain. Yesterday, over 50% of the jobs we attended could have been minimised or averted with routine property maintenance. #vicses #vicfloods

A year ago today on 22 Sept 2021, Victoria experienced a magnitude 5.9 earthquake - the largest in the state's history. Do you remember where you were? And most importantly - do you know what to do if an earthquake occurs?

Police are appealing for public assistance to help locate missing Moonee Ponds man Kurt. The 30-year-old was last seen at his home early this morning.

Police and family are concerned for Kurt’s welfare due to a medical condition and his disappearance is out of character.

Our members got called to a tricky situation yesterday with a kitten 🐱 stuck in a dumpster bin. After three hours the cat was removed from the bin and taken to the vet to be sedated before we removed the final piece from its neck. ‘Dumpy’ is recovering well. #preparedforanything

Do you know your neighbor? Reach out and say hello 👋 #neighbourday

[VICSES News @vicsesnews]

Research shows, those who have strong relationships within their communities and neighbours, are more likely to help one another and have better outcomes when faced with emergencies.
That’s why VICSES is supporting Neighbour Day on Sunday 27 March.
