[HCARC] Call for Volunteers

[Terry Hipskind]

The Hill Country Chapter of the American Red Cross is conducting a Disaster Assessment Exercise on March 02.  There will be four to five assessment teams which will require one HAM operator per team plus one operator at the Red Cross building.  We will initially meet at the Red Cross building at 08:15.  From there the teams will go to the Windmill Ridge Community.  The exercise should be completed prior to 02:00 pm.  My HT works with the Repeater from this location, but I will set up my cross-band repeater if needed.  We will be walking the neighborhood – not driving (simulating impassible streets).  If you do not have an HT but do have a vehicle mounted unit we will work around that.  Current plan is to have the Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle at the site to provide refreshments.  Rest rooms are available at the community club house.

Please let me know if you can help the Red Cross with this exercise.
