Project achievements
The Emergency Connect WA aimed to enhance the operational efficiency of emergency service organisations to improve emergency service delivery across Western Australia.
The project improved the service capability and range of operations of community volunteer groups located in metropolitan and regional Western Australia by accessing government emergency agencies, and ensuring communities—particularly those in regional, rural and remote locations—have access to reliable communication networks and real-time incident data in times of immediate or impending emergencies.
