> As Hams, we’re capable of monitoring a wide-range of RF spectrum and a broad venue of Amateur Radio connectivity (HF, Repeaters, EchoLink, P2P Winlink, DMR, Wires-X, D-Star, etc.).  We should always consider monitoring other Personal Radio Services e.g., FRS, GMRS, and Citizens Band Radio Service (CBRS). 
> 
> Let’s focus on situational awareness and readiness in passing information to our served agencies and EmComm coordinators.  Report any malicious on-air anomalies to your MDC Section leadership and please do not directly engage suspicious communications. If the safety of lives or property is warranted, immediately contact Law / EMS services via your community PSAP (911); then alert the MDC Section staff.
> 
> Our actions must be align with similar readiness and “Preparedness for Natural Disasters & Incident Command System (ICS)” e.g., ESF #2 - Communications, ESF #5 - Emergency Management, ESF #6 - Mass Care, Housing and Human Services, ESF #8 - Health and Medical Services, & ESF #13 - Public Safety and Security.
