The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) has hosted a Land Based Flood Rescue course, putting participants from the Service and external agencies through their paces in an environment simulating a real-life flood rescue scenario. Held at Beechworth near Port Macquarie on August 5 and 6, the training involved personnel from the NSW SES, NSW Police, and key flood rescue support agencies of Marine Rescue NSW, the NSW Rural Fire Service and Surf Life Saving NSW. Twenty-four emergency service personnel completed the course, trained by six experienced NSW SES flood rescue trainers, to become competent land-based flood rescue operators.
