Interoperability with Amateur Radio Emergency Communications

The EIIP is pleased to host a 'live chat' presentation and interactive Q&A 
session, January 21st, 12:00 Noon Eastern (please convert to your local time). 
Our topic will be how the traditional role of amateur radio support for 
emergency communications is adapting to the age of interoperability. This overview 
will include key organizations and recent examples as well. 

Our guest Lloyd Colston, is well-rounded in both emergency management and 
amateur radio, having come up through the ranks of the amateur radio community, 
trained as a storm spotter, Emergency Medical Technician, EMT instructor, 
emergency management volunteer, and EMA director. He is active in a wide variety of 
organizations, and also serves as trainer, Public Information Officer, and 
member of the Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) in Oklahoma.

Our second guest will be Steve Ewald, Supervisor of the American Radio Relay 
League (ARRL) Field Organization/Public Service Team at ARRL Headquarters in 
Newington, Connecticut. Steve helps provide administrative support and guidance 
to the ARRL Field Organization and the volunteer ARRL "Section Leaders" 
across the country. He works with participants in the ARRL-sponsored Amateur Radio 
Emergency Service (ARES) and other radio amateurs that are involved in many 
facets of public service communications.

Please make plans to join us for this update on a valued service to emergency 
managers and the public. See the Background Page for related links, further
