<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Members,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have also spoken to WICEN NSW and WICEN ACT to support this mission being a rapid deployment.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mark</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PS: If you get this twice it’s because I am also sending it to your email address outside the group mail.</p>
