SES volunteer who died on her way to urgent rescue was unaware Fire and Rescue had already resolved it, sources say SES volunteer who died on her way to urgent rescue was unaware Fire and Rescue had already resolved it, sources sayA local home down the road in Coolana, near a causeway and creek, was at risk of inundation.
Merryl Dray, the SES volunteer who was killed while out on a rescue during flooding the recent flooding in south-east Queensland, is farewelled at a moving funeral service in Holland Park. This would have meant Fire Communications dealt with SES calls, resulting in an increased workload for those working in the call centre.
As for QPS, a Queensland police spokesperson said there were currently "no plans to embed SES into the Police Communications Centres, as they operate significantly differently during taskings". This means SES can't talk to the State Disaster Coordination Centre on radio and often relies on mobile phones.
"Enhanced strategies and processes across capability, training, and risk assessment were implemented," they said.
