Amateur Radio emergency communication volunteers needed! 
(Sep 2, 2005) -- UPDATE -- The ARRL now is seeking experienced Amateur  Radio 
emergency volunteers to help supplement communication for American Red  Cross 
feeding and sheltering operations in Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida  
Panhandle--as many as 200 locations in all. Special consideration will be given  
to operators who have successfully completed the ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency 
 Communications course training (Level I minimum) to serve as team leaders. 
These  volunteer operators will help to provide communication and equipment for 
relief  efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Volunteers may face 
hardship  conditions without the usual amenities and will need to provide their 
own  transportation to the marshaling area. 
Working in cooperation with the ARRL,  http://katrina.ab2m.net/ will now be 
handling all volunteer sign ups for the  Katrina Relief effort. If you have 
already entered your information to  Katrina at arrl.org, your information will be 
forwarded to AB2M to avoid  duplication. 
Katrina at arrl.org should be used for all other inquiries to the  ARRL 
regarding Hurricane Katrina.
