Given the current forecast for this weekend, I would like to run a
"modified" weather net for reporting snow accumulation, road hazards, power
outages, etc. Kara Buckmaster from Calvert EM contacted me yesterday to
advise the EOC will activate in a virtual mode and would like any info we
collect to be passed along to them as well. She is a GMRS user and will be
monitoring the Calv650 repeater and can be contacted via email.
I'm sure most, if not all of us, won't be up all night so I'm looking to
have the net active from 7am-9pm or hours along that line. I will try to
activate it when accumulation begins and keep it going on a daily basis as
resources and need dictate.
Obviously, one person can't do it all so I'm looking for folks to assist.
Anyone willing to help out, please let me know or if you're free and want
to give the current "net control" a break, that would be helpful. Reporting
can be done with an hourly call for reports and email or phone can be used
to submit any reports.
I would like to include GMRS as much as possible so if you are licensed,
please monitor the repeater and notify users.
Any ideas and or suggestions to help this run smoothly and efficiently are
welcome.
More to come as we get closer.
Thanks!
