Dear members,

This is now a formal ACTIVATION.

If you are able to assist please let me know.  I have received emails last night and this morning from members and acknowledged them.

For those able to assist more information to be made available as the day unfolds.

Subject: Notice for possible WICEN activation - Request for WICEN Operators - Wentworth NSW - SES

Dear Members,

WICEN may be  formally requested by SES to provide communications support in the Mildura / Wentworth area. Due to no communications SES boat crews are at greater risk and WICEN may be in a position to assist.

We envisage the deployment being short term (2~3 days on the ground), until either the need is over or SES have put in place supplementary communications.

If you are available for a deployment (next 24~48 hours) to the area could you please let me know immediately. At this stage as the situation is dynamic we are currently gathering additional more detailed information to complete a deployment package. Most likely you will need to be self-sufficient food, water and transport. Hopefully accommodation can be provided.

We have also spoken to WICEN NSW and WICEN ACT to support this mission being a rapid deployment.

Thanks,

Mark

PS: If you get this twice it’s because I am also sending it to your email address outside the group mail.
