[CALV-AUXCOMM] Fwd: MDC Situational Awareness

[Shawn Donley]

Calvert AUXCOMM,

Please read the message below from our MDC Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator, KC3DSO.

Steve mentions the Central Maryland Repeater Group (CMRG).   It's a linked system of 70cm repeaters.   I can get in on the 447.0750 node.  Full info at:

And you can even live stream the system at:

>     Hello everyone,
>      
>     As we get ready for the pending storm, it's a good time to pass out a few reminders and updates.
>      
>     Section staff have been monitoring the NWS and MEMA's data on the storm. MEMA's latest update is below. By most accounts, north of Rt. 50 could see mostly snow with up to 1-2" per hour snowfall.
>      
>     We recommend we all share SA throughout the entire section as this will be a section wide event.
>      
>     The WASH_DC Echolink conference has been a mainstay for SA distribution. Section staff will monitor as much as possible. Section social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) should be monitored for updates. 
>      
>     Suggest all ARES members monitor their local repeaters and provide SA to their EC's, OEM, EOC's, etc. and provide SKYWARN notification as needed. The CMRG is a great set of repeaters which cover a very large area of our section which makes it handy for multi county contacts.
>      
>     If SA is sent out via email/WinLink; please CC section staff; SM, ASM, SEC & ASEC as noted in the attached spreadsheet. Also let staff know if you are requested to deploy or provide other assistance to any of your served agencies.
>      
>     Stay safe and warm. If you need assistance don't hesitate to contact a staff member.

>     Winter Storm Watch: 16 February 2021
>      
>     BLUF: A winter storm is anticipated to impact most areas of Maryland on Thursday, bringing the potential for significant snow and/or ice accumulations.
> 
>     Situation: All counties west of the Chesapeake Bay, including Cecil County, are under a Winter Storm Watch. The storm is expected to begin early Thursday morning (between 4-7 AM) and last through Thursday night. Snow accumulations of five or more inches are possible with a quarter inch of ice accumulation possible. Most effects from last week’s winter weather have been managed by emergency services. There are minimal power outages across the state. Current high temperatures reach the mid to upper 40s and low temperatures tonight are expected to dip into the upper teens and low 20s, with gusty winds.
