 Hello to all..
 
 The International Radio Emergency Support Coalition (IRESC)
 and the Salvation Army Team Emergency Response Network (SATERN) are
 both active supporting Haiti Earthquake Operations. Indirect contact
 has been  established via email and second hand reporting and info as
 relayed by SATERN to IRESC and by IRESC operators. Direct contact to
 the affected area is being attempted by both groups.
 
 The *WX_TALK* Echolink conference node: 7203/IRLP 9219
 reflector system has been connected directly to the *IRESC* echolink
 conference node:
 278173 for listen only purposes. It will remain connected
 for as long as IRESC is active. Anyone with emergency/priority traffic
 or health and welfare traffic should connect directly to *IRESC*
 echolink conference node: 278173. Information on IRESC can be seen
 via the following link:
 
 http://www.iresc.org/
 
 SATERN is active on HF and has performed liasion with
 IRESC. Per the SATERN web site, SATERN activities are active on         14..235  MHz Primary for daytime operations and 7265 and 3977.7 Khz for evening and night time operations. 
Information on SATERN can be seen via the following link:
 
 http://www.satern.org/
 
 Any net controls and individuals that either have direct
 contact with Haiti or have relays into Haiti are strongly encouraged to
 support SATERN and IRESC with their operations. This would benefit
 those with Health and Welfare traffic into Haiti. Stations that have
 Health and Welfare traffic to Haiti can provide the info to these
 groups but it may be several days before the messages will be delivered
 and relayed back so those  that can help with direct contact with Haiti
 or contact through relays could help speed up the Health and welfare
 traffic flow.
 
 We wish the best for the victims of this serious earthquake
 that has affected Haiti.
 
 Respectfully Submitted,
