In Santa Rosa County=2C volunteer amateur radio operators staffed the Emer= gency Operations Center (EOC) and the evacuation shelter at the Milton Com= munity Center. These volunteers provided a communications link between the= shelter and the EOC=2C relaying situational updates and maintaining readi= ness to support emergency communications should traditional systems become= unavailable. Amateur radio operators across the state also supported auxiliary communic= ations efforts=2C providing additional capabilities to maintain contact wi= th the State Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee if conventional co= mmunication networks experienced disruptions. "While traditional communications systems have become significantly more r= eliable over the years=2C amateur radio continues to serve as a dependable= auxiliary communications resource=2C" said Arc Thames=2C W4CPD=2C Santa R= osa County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and Amateur Radio Emer= gency Service (ARES) Program Manager. "When disaster strikes=2C our volunt= eers are trained=2C prepared=2C and ready to step in wherever we're needed= =2E It's another layer of resiliency that helps protect our communities." Thames also serves as the ARRL Northern Florida Section Emergency Coordina= tor and the Amateur Radio Liaison to the Florida Division of Emergency Man= agement=2C supporting the coordination of amateur radio and auxiliary comm= unications resources statewide. "During tropical weather events impacting Florida=2C our Auxiliary Communi= cations team provides volunteer operators to monitor amateur radio communi= cations at the State Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee=2C" Thames= explained. "This ensures that if someone is unable to reach emergency off= icials through traditional means=2C we have another way to receive and rel= ay critical information.
