[ARRL-OK] SAVE THE DATE: 2012 Simulated Emergency Test - October 6

[Mark Conklin]

 2012 Simulated Emergency Test  - Details to follow soon...  WATCH THIS LIST.

 
Save the date - Saturday, October 6 

 
The ARRL Simulated Emergency Test is a nationwide exercise in 
emergency communications, administered by ARRL Field Organization 
Leaders including Emergency Coordinators, District Emergency 
Coordinators, Section Emergency Coordinators and Net Managers. Many 
other Section Leaders like the Section Manager and the Section Traffic 
Manager may have a hand in planning the exercises and/or reviewing the 
results. Amateur Radio Emergency Service ® (ARES®), National Traffic 
System (NTS), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) and other 
public-service oriented groups can be involved. The SET weekend gives 
communicators the opportunity to focus on the emergency-communications 
capability within your community while interacting with NTS nets. 
Although the main SET weekend this year is October 6-7, local and 
section-wide exercises may be held throughout the fall season. 
 
During September, the ARRL will be among dozens of 
organizations and agencies taking part in National Preparedness Month. 
"The Ready Campaign," produced by the Ad Council in partnership with the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is aimed at making citizen 
preparedness "a priority for every city, every neighborhood and every 
home" in the US. The ARRL encourages you to consider this year's 
Simulated Emergency Test and preparations for it as a demonstration of 
Amateur Radio's readiness and as an active participant in National 
Preparedness Month. http://www.ready.gov/,
