Massive, Multi-agency Search and Rescue Operation Wins Rescue of the Month
An emergency incident response over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in June was the largest co-ordinated and resourced search and rescue operation in the history of Surf Life Saving Illawarra. The combined response from multiple clubs in the Illawarra branch, which saw over 75 Surf Life Saving personnel working together over a two-day period, has won the Surf Life Saving NSW Rescue of the Month Award for June 2020.
