This Wednesday, Brookfield Place will be lighting up orange as a way to thank the State Emergency Service.

A little about WOW day

On this day communities across Australia are encouraged to wear orange and thank SES volunteers who generously give their time helping communities during cyclone, flood and storm emergencies, assisting WA Police during land search, undertaking aerial and cave rescues, attending road crashes and assisting fire crews.

SES personnel are among the nation’s first responders to storms, floods and cyclones, turning out at all hours to help those in distress. For the SES volunteers across our vast State of Western Australia, the high season is all year long.

We’d like to take a moment to appreciate the valuable essential service that SES provides us.
