The family-friendly open day will run from 11am to 1pm, with live demonstrations, hands-on activities, emergency vehicle displays and practical advice to help residents prepare for storms, floods and other emergencies.
Visitors will have the chance to meet local volunteers, explore specialist equipment, and learn simple steps they can take to protect their homes, families and property before severe weather strikes.
It comes just days after severe thunderstorms caused significant damage in the region, with NSW SES Wagga Wagga Unit volunteers responding to around 20 incidents in the 24 hours until 5am on Monday 26 October 2026, as large trees and branches fell onto roads and homes.
NSW SES Wagga Wagga Unit Commander Ian Mason said this open day was the perfect opportunity to learn how to be prepared before the next severe storm hits.
"With storm season among us, we'll be sharing practical information about preparing homes and families for severe weather, understanding local risks and knowing when and how to seek assistance," Inspector Mason said.
"We want people to leave with the knowledge they can use to protect themselves, their families and their property."
In the last 12 months, NSW SES Wagga Wagga Unit volunteers have responded to nearly 200 incidents in the local community, the majority involving downed trees and damage to properties.
NSW SES Deputy Zone Commander Shane Hargraves said the event was about helping the community become more resilient while also showcasing the important role volunteers play.
"Preparedness can save lives, and these open days provide a valuable opportunity for people to connect with local volunteers and learn how to better prepare for storms, floods and other emergencies," Superintendent Hargraves said.
"The open day is also a great opportunity to meet the local volunteers who dedicate their time to helping the community when it matters most."
