FloodSafe Week



FloodSafe Week (May 6-12) is Victoria State Emergency Service’s (SES) annual awareness event aimed at educating the community about the risk of flood.



This year’s message is that playing in floodwater is dangerous.

Not only is there a risk of drowning, floodwater itself is filthy, toxic and dangerous as it contains materials like chemicals, faeces, decaying animals, garbage and sharp debris.

Playing in floodwater may look like fun, but it isn’t.

During FloodSafe Week, Victoria SES volunteers will be running events in their community to explain flood risks and outline easy ways to stay safe.
