National SES Week begins on November 8 and runs through to November 14.

On the Friday (13th), instead of donning your scary black gear, the SES is asking you to wear orange to work, to show your support for the organisation, and recognise the work it carries out in the community.

SES spokesperson Leanne Cooper said it was a great way to show your support for the small number of people in the community who worked through times of natural disaster.

During SES week, people are invited to go down to the training shed at NEOC (near the shire depot on River Street) for a cuppa and meet the volunteers.

If you would like to join in Wear Orange To Work Day on November 13, contact local SES controller Richard Townend.

He can provide you with some resources to display, or some old uniforms to borrow to wear for the day.

While they are most noticeable out and about during storms and floods, SES volunteers are assisting at all times of year, helping with all kinds of emergency works, including removing trees, tarping roofs and much more.

In an emergency for flood, storm or tsunami, call the SES on 132 500.
