This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake storm and water damage operations as a member of a response team.

Flooding whether caused by slow river rise, storm water, storm surge or flash flooding, has a similar impact in terms of water damage. Techniques for minimising the effects of water entry into properties are common to storm, flood and other water damage events.

The unit applies to personnel responding as a member of a team to storm and/or water damage operations in rural and urban environments which can range in intensity and impact from localised thunderstorm or windstorm events to tropical cyclones. Evacuation and rescue by boat are not considered in this unit.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
