Wednesday, May 22nd was a date penciled into so many diaries this year.It's a day when volunteer emergency workers are recognised across the country by thousands of everyday Aussies.

SES workers are especially relied upon by regional communities in Victoria and the day was celebrated on Flow's Country Viewpoint program.

The Victorian SES Chief Officer Operations, Tim Wiebusch, appeared on the program to remind listeners of the significance of the day by highlighting some of the ardous tasks undertaken by voluntary emergency workers.
