The Boston Marathon's Bombing is a reminder how quickly a Public Service
Event can become totally different situation within nano-seconds.  Below is
a report how the Boston ARES went into action after the Government stopped
commercial communications and/or cell phone circuits became overloaded.  The
foundation of our communication objectives is TRAINING.  With the
inter-structure shut down vital messages and information was still delivered
to serve agencies.  Their training enabled them to mobilize equipment and
personnel to support agencies for a heighten communication incident.
