[HCARC] Ham Radio Message Passing Help From Mexico

[Gary J - N5BAA]

In the aftermath of hurricane Odile which crushed Cabo San Lucas the following was received as an email from Lee at USARMY MARS.  We may want to turn our beams that way for a week or so:

Any STX members in contact with hams in Mexico?  Can you assist Deanna?

Hi Don,

Bill Hancock was telling me that you are really great with the HAM
Radio capability.  I was wondering if you have any communications with
people on the ground in Mexico that was devastated by the recent
Hurricane?  I'm asking because my nephew Jeremy Davis and his new bride
Natalie Davis were staying at the Fiesta Americana Grande Hotel in Cabo
San Lucas which took a direct hit from the hurricane and the hotel was
destroyed.  We have not heard from them since Monday morning and are
getting concerned due to all the crime that is taking place from the
fall out of the hurricane.  During the conversation on Monday they
indicated that the hotel told them that they would be out of food and
water on Tuesday.  

Not sure if there is a way for you to reach out to anyone in the Mexico
area via your radio, we just need to make sure they are safe!  I have
reached out to the State Department, Red Cross, Mexican Red Cross, and
the Protection Civil (local group) and gotten no where.  The Mexican
Redcross basically said that are more concerned with the locals and
those who lost their homes etc... instead of the rich tourist.

Any information or group that you could refer me to would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Deanna
