About WICEN
In Australia WICEN (pronounced
"wye-sen"), the Wireless
Institute
Civil Emergency Network. Wicen is organised by state and
region,
with autonomous bodies in each state linked to that
jurisdiction's
disaster plan.
In most states, WICEN is organized by a committee
of
the WIA state organization, but in New South Wales and Victoria,
WICEN
is separately incorporated. WICEN has been activated for various
emergencies, notably in recent years the Black Saturday bushfires
on 7
February 2009 in Victoria. In NSW, WICEN is an accredited squad of
the NSW Volunteer Rescue Association.
