This will involve some comms on DMR Statewide, local nets on our repeaters and possibly some winlink data messaging. I am not aware of the ?details of the emergency?, this will be announced during the nets. If you are willing to help Region 1 participate, please let me know. We will probably run the net from the comm center, as well as the winlink messaging.
