Community Language Resources
NSW is made up of many diverse people and cultures. The NSW SES is committed to providing information on floods, storms and tsunami in different languages.
These pages contain valuable flood, storm and tsunami information in different languages. The development of these resources is an ongoing project across different emergency services. More resources will be added over time.
The NSW SES has also recently developed an Indigenous Volunteering brochure.
For information on tsunami visit the Tsunami Information in Different Languages page.
The SES 132 500 Magnet was developed in collaboration with the Sydney Migrant Resource Centre to visually show the number to call for flood and storm emergencies.
The magnet was so popular, the SES developed them for distribution to the whole of the community.
