The '''State Emergency Service''' ('''SES''') is the name used by a number of separate [[civil defence]] organisations in [[Australia]] that provide assistance during and after major incidents. Specifically, the services deal with [[Flood|floods]], [[Storm|storms]] and [[Tsunami|tsunamis]], but can also assist in other emergencies, such as vertical rescue and road crash rescues, missing persons searches, and medical evacuations. In other scenarios the SES may provide a support role to other agencies, particularly police and fire. The SES is operational 24 hours a day. The SES is constituted as separate organisations operating in the various [[States and territories of Australia|Australian states and territories]]. Eight of the SES organisations co-ordinate through the Australian Council of State and Territory Emergency Services (ACSES).
