[MIham] "Activation Plan for Net Operations"

[FSK]

"Activation Plan for Net Operations"

The Hurricane Watch Net plans to begin operations on our net frequency (14
325mhz) beginning Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 1400UTC. According to recent
advisory and track information, Hurricane Isabel will be within 300 miles of
projected land fall someplace along the North Carolina coast at that time.

Our main operational goals for Wednesday will be two fold, as follows:
1) to make the storm advisory information on a regular basis to those in the
affected area of the forecast path of the storm, and
2) to identify and collect a list of stations in the path of the storm who
may be available throughout this event for the purpose of reporting local
weather measurements and observations to us for conveyance to the
forecasters in the National Hurricane Center. It is essential to contain our
scope of reporting stations along and closely to the side of the forecast
track, and it is important that you remain silent if not in the specified
area.

Please honor our request that you should not check in to the net unless
specifically requested to do so. We will attempt to handle all
communications within the capabilities of our own members, and only when
required assistance is needed will we ask for your help.

While our mission is specifically to provide storm related information into
and out of the storm, please understand we are not involved in Health and
Welfare traffic. That traffic will be handled by the SATERN net on 14.265
beginning at 1400UTC on Thursday, and will be in place throughout the
duration of this event. We will likely be reporting other emergency
frequencies to be set up by local emergency management nets in the affected
area. Please monitor 14.325 for that information as it is made available.

As a final reminder, please monitor this web site for storm related advisory
updates, graphics displays, and other data made available from the National
Hurricane Center.

Thanks in advance for your support and cooperation during this extremely
dangerous storm.

Sincerely,
Mike Pilgrim, K5MP
Manager
