ARES, Others Respond to Hurricane Dorian Colleague Rick Lindquist, WW1ME, of the ARRL news desk, and others in the field, diligently reported as Hurricane Dorian marched its historic track earlier this month. Summaries and reports can be found in the links listed below.



The website page www.arrl.org/2019-Hurricanes, includes information and news summarizing the preparations and response by ARES and other Amateur Radio volunteers who are supporting (or have supported) emergency communications in areas that may be (or have been) impacted by 2019 hurricanes.



Operators provide critical communications capability used for relaying life-saving information and to assist with preparedness, response and recovery activities. Additionally, radio amateurs throughout affected regions often provide firsthand accounts of storm impact and ongoing recovery needs.

During the emergency management phase of Hurricane Dorian, Bill Jorgensen, Director of Public Safety for Williamson County, Tennessee, thanked AUXCOMM operators: "This morning at 0700 we sent out a 3-person Communications Unit (COMU) to support Tennessee Task Force 2 en route to the east coast for 10 days. This unit consists of a 100' tower trailer, operational logistics trailer and a 45 kV gen set along with a mix of COML/COMT/ITSL (Technology Service Unit Leader) personnel. 



Modes and frequencies employed included VHF/UHF/700/800/HF SHARES/Winlink including FirstNet/Verizon and some satellite capabilities. Thank you to all the AuxComm volunteers that supported this deployment before we left and those that will continue to support the Winlink system while deployed."



Steve Waterman, K4CJX, DHS NCC SHARES Winlink Administrator and FEMA Region 4 Regional Emergency Communications Coordination Working Group (RECCWG) AuxComm Committee Chair commented "It is yet another shining, but typical example of the influence of Amateur Radio's role in assisting our civil authorities and their critical infrastructure partners during mass casualty events." The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) COMU unit, comprised of Amateur Radio volunteers, worked to deploy assets also.
