Subject: UPDATED: Amateur Radio Operators Requested for Florida Keys

More details about volunteering in the Florida Key, it is NOT necessary to contact the NNJ SEC. Here is the revised message:

There is a potential need for Amateur Radio operators to provide communications support in the Florida Keys. Volunteers will need to bring a dual-band HT with earphone/headset, external (gain) antenna, spare batteries, chargers.  While food & beverage, sleeping quarters and showers are available, responders need to be self-sufficient for other personal needs.  Deployment requests will vary as will the served agencies.  DO NOT SELF-DEPLOY.  These missions will be filled through the State of Florida EOC, ESF2 liaison.

Hams interested will need to register at https://www.volunteerflorida.org/irma/ .  Select the “Casework/Recovery” option under the type of work on Step 1, and under “Step 3”, “Volunteer Skills”, select “Amateur Radio”.  Once requests are made to the State, you will be notified of the mission and can accept or decline the assignment.  THESE ARE VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENTS.  Non-compensated.  You may be required to pass a background check.
