[MarinTeams] Amazon is getting into the AREDN emergency network

[Robert Klahn (AD6I)]

Another group that is heavily involved in related issues is https://www.itdrc.org/ They are not exactly integrated with Amateur Radio, but they do welcome Hams, and want you to use your radios when deployed. If you have IT skills, check out the website.They are involved in the Hurricane Ida, Haiti earthquake, California wildfire response and more. Im just getting started with them, so I can’t really answer many questions, but would be happy to take a shot if anyone has them.
