The Wireless Institute Civil Emergency Network (WICEN) is a group of Australian emergency Amature radio organisations.[1] WICEN groups provide communications during emergencies or disasters when normal communications stop working. WICEN groups have assisted during bushfires,[2] floods and cyclones.[3] WICEN groups also provide communications at events such as the Great Victorian Bike Ride, Red Cross Hawkesbury River Canoe Marathon[1] and National Capital Rally[4] WICEN groups meet regularly to train and conduct exercises with other agencies.
WICEN members provide their own equipment[5] and give up their own time to train, respond to emergencies and attend events.
