The Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) has served Victorians with distinction since 1950 and is a significant contributor and leader in emergency management. Our volunteers are the backbone of VICSES, serving the Victorian community 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

This publication details how VICSES works with communities and partners, to achieve more aware, informed and prepared communities; supporting them to understand their flood risk and the relevance of taking action before, during and after emergency events.
The publication expands on our community resilience agenda in a flood context for what has been achieved to date and arrangements currently in place, and will be provided to the Minster as part of the VICSES Spring & Summer Preparedness Assurance.

The purpose of the Operational Capability Strategy is to explain our philosophy and the underpinning principles for the development and maintenance of operational capability.
The strategy outlines a holistic approach to operational service delivery that is centred on our people – volunteer (members) and staff – and the provision of knowledge, skills and resources to enable VICSES to deliver our services safely and effectively.
The strategy is designed to complement other key organisational strategies which aim to ensure our service delivery is risk-based and facilitates the most effective contribution by our people.

Datasets - The Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) provides datasets to the public that provide invaluable insight into the operations of VICSES. They cover operational activities, training details and non-personal volunteer information.
These datasets are part of the DataVic Access Policy, an initiative which seeks to make Victorian government agency datasets freely available to the public. It is hoped that by doing this, economic activity will be stimulated, productivity will increase, research outcomes will improve and government practices in the use of data will be made more efficient and effective.
View the datasets.
In keeping with the standards issued by the Victorian Public Sector Commission in relation to the management of gifts, benefits and hospitality, Victoria SES now publishes its Gifts, Benefits & Hospitality Register on a quarterly basis, effective 1 May 2017.
