MWRS Emergency Communications
The MWRS provides assistance in emergency communications and
training exercises for WICEN NSW and other
volunteer groups, such Rural Fire Service, SES and RVCP. Some MWRS club
members are also members of these organisations as well.
We gain further experience in emergency message handling skills, by
providing communications for local community events.
Some of the events we have provided communication assistance
to are:
RVCP boating time trials on Pittwater, providing communications
between, Start, Finish and intermediate checkpoints. SES communications, during the Newcastle Earthquake, providing radio
operators and equipment to convey emergency communications traffic between SES in
Newcastle to SES Headquarters in the city, until normal telephone communications were
restored. Rural Bush Fire Brigade, during the January 94 bush fires, providing
radio operators to assist in operating radios in tankers. Rural Bush Fire and SES training exercises, again providing radio
operators for field and base communications North Side
Riding Club horseriding cross-country events (annually) Forest Hills Pony Club horseriding cross-country events (annually) Kelleyville Riding Club horseriding cross-country events (annually) And to local sporting community events such as triathalons,
etc. within the Manly, Warringah & Pittwater areas.
