[Ares-races] Looking for tips on how to best approach those buiilding a new hospital

[Doug Younker]

Thanks all good points.  Interestingly it was overhearing high expectations
of, what AR can do is the reason I found myself in the volunteer positions I
hold and I try to be cautious not to over sell the capabilities of the local
amateur group.  BTW; this is not a cold call to the hospital and we have
being working together before the new hospital construction discussion
began.  Hopefully I can find ourselves to be involved in planning from the
start and not be a retrofit when it comes to equipment installation.--73

: My first thought would be to ensure that you are talking with your local
: (county?) EMA director and that amateur radio is included in your
: community disaster plan.  This will go a long way towards establishing
: the validity of a requirement to have ham radio as the backup
: communications system for the hospital.
