RESIDENCES and businesses across the Alpine Shire were left relatively unscathed during last week's storms and widespread rainfall, but things aren't over yet.
More rain yesterday and possible thunderstorms forecast this week has Myrtleford and Bright SES units ready to respond to any emergencies.
Volunteers at both units attended various incidents last week, though thankfully there was no serious damage.
"On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday last week we were called out to a Request For Assistance," Bright SES controller, Graham Gales said.
"Thankfully we didn't experience a big storm event, with no instances of severe damage such as roof cave-ins.
