NSW State Emergency Service (SES) commissioner Carlene York said Wear Orange Wednesday (WOW Day) on May 18 celebrates the NSW SES volunteers who work to "protect communities at their most vulnerable."
The SES is encouraging people to wear orange clothing on May 18 as way to show their gratitude to SES volunteers. Another way people can participate in WOW Day is by decorating workplaces and public spaces orange.
