Somerset SES heads to north QLD
Seven State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers from Somerset have flown to Far North Queensland to support communities impacted by floods.
The crew joined more than 60 SES personnel from across South East Queensland flying from Brisbane on February 3.
Somerset Regional Council Mayor Jason Wendt thanked the Somerset Region SES Unit members for going above and beyond to help those in need.
“Our SES volunteers are always ready to support our community in Somerset, but their dedication to helping people isn’t limited by our region’s borders,” he said.
“They are highly skilled individuals, and we are proud to have them representing Somerset.”
The unit members were tasked with assisting the management of evacuation centres among other duties.
