Members of the Myrtleford SES unit will be conducting door-knocks between Thursday, 4 and Monday, 15 September, at selected properties known to be at risk of flooding.

The SES volunteers will be asking people if they are aware of the 'flood guide', which was updated this year and if they know how their property may be impacted.

"While we are not expecting an imminent flood, the aim is to help occupants understand, prepare and respond to the flood risk affecting their property," Myrtleford SES unit controller, David Coates said.

"It's important that occupants understand the SES Myrtleford unit has 14 volunteers and may not be able to respond in a timely manner in the event of widespread flooding.

"We encourage people to be prepared by regularly checking gutters and drains.

"They should be aware how to receive emergency notifications, preferably using the VicEmergency app and they should have a plan, including what they will need to take if they leave their property and what they will do with pets and other animals."

The SES volunteers involved in the door-knocking will offer information guides and be able to answer any questions about preparing for a future flood.
