Multiple reasons - culmination of the national SES Week, celebration of SES volunteers, presentation of awards, catch up by volunteers with each other, media & government exposure, etc, etc.

there you go shows how much National SES Week has bee promoted in this state.
Thats alright though when I asked the local council if we could put on a display to a)celebrate SES week & b)to distribute how to prepare for storms & flash flooding stuff, they nice girl at the council didn't know that was part of our responsibility. In fact she didn't know we are the lead agency for stuff like that at all & we have to get a official permit! Sometimes I wish I had joined the guys in yellow instead, at least people know what they do :-D

Hmm, well didn't even know it was SES week and have been in two states this week.
Mind you, don't think being yellow mean that people know what we do:
A)We're paid
B)We only do bushfires
C)What do you mean you don't have a cherry picker?
I hate the public sometimes.
