SES personnel assisted with food relief efforts during the 2013 floods in the South Burnett<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 10, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the storm season just around the corner, the Kingaroy SES group has sent out an urgent SOS for more volunteers to join its ranks.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Group Leader Peter Verbakel said today the group was approaching a critically low number of members,<\/p>\n

It is currently working in closely with the Nanango SES so it can adequately respond to emergencies.<\/p>\n

“Volunteer numbers have decreased recently due to relocations and work commitments, leaving the opportunity for committed, keen, dedicated and community-minded people to take their place,” Mr Verbakel said.<\/p>\n

“A willingness to respond at any time to activations is essential,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Emergencies and disasters occur without warning. A committed volunteer understands the nature of SES operations and will respond when called.”<\/p>\n

He said there were many benefits to volunteering with the SES.<\/p>\n

“These are personal and vary between members,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Some enjoy the ability to support and assist their community. Others rise to the challenge of specialist training and learning.<\/p>\n

“Yet others simply want to give back to their community. There is scope to demonstrate leadership, improve your skills, enjoy the company of like-minded people, and be part of a respected and professional emergency response team.”<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Anyone interested in joining the Kingaroy SES should turn up at the SES Headquarters in Glendon Street (near Kingaroy X Ray) at 7:30pm on any Wednesday night.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
