The Altona Unit of Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) will be visiting households in Hobsons Bay to raise awareness of the risk of flood.
On 13 April the SES volunteers will undertake almost 150 doorknocks in parts of the City of Hobsons Bay to provide information to householders about what they can do to be prepared and answer any questions.
Volunteers will be in full uniform and in pairs and they will not be asking for donations.
Regional Manager of Victoria’s SES Central Region, Ray Jasper, said the doorknock program was about informing the community.
“We know it is vital for families and communities to be aware of flood risks, prepare, practice and test their emergency plans and be ready when flooding occurs,” Mr Jasper said.
“As an emergency service organisation our volunteers work hard to reduce the impact of floods and storms within our community.
These local doorknocks will help us reduce those impacts and help our local communities understand the risks. The information provided to residents also aims to help individuals better manage their preparedness when an event occurs.”
