What the SES does

[bajdas]

May I suggest that people have a look at the new websites of www.ses.sa.gov.au or www.sasesva.org.au for details.

When the SES are paged for a job do all the unit members get the initial response page? Just saw a call for Sturt SES and a few mins later a message saying "call out pls attend unit" Just curious whether a duty officer or someone else gets the intial page?

Everyone gets the page. I too have wondered why Sturt run it like that. Either its a follow on from before we had teh MFS vetting our jobs or its a way to let everyone know if there is a crew or not. Personally I would hate to be in a meeting or something and have the pager go of 12 times for one job.

im under the impression that the initial page to there alarm channel only goes to a group of duty officers.. who then page the rest of the unit via info adress.... hang over from the old system.

i think they are looking at phasing this out though...

just to clarify;

this was only for certain metro units... no road crash units ever had that system...
