A NSW State Emergency Service (SES) member played an integral part in coordinating the unforeseen departure of almost 50,000 people from the 25th World Scout Jamboree in South Korea before a typhoon bore down on the event's campsite. Putting into practice the emergency management skills he's learnt through the SES as a training advisor and Dubbo Unit volunteer, Gavin Arnold said the incident had all the hallmarks of an evacuation. He contributed to a plan to move 39,000 youth and 10,000 adults from 158 different countries to safer accommodation as Typhoon Khanun edged closer.
