Hi, John:

  This sounds like mobile stations would be appropriate and, perhaps, a 
mobile station using a home antenna.
Although without the availability of fuel, there would be no mobile 
stations.
Alas, the only power available in the Greene County ARES scenario is 
solar (wind, water wheel,...).

  If you are going to use permanently installed ham antennas (and 
radios?) at the served agencies (Fire/Police),
generating this map would be practical during a SET.
Else, if not using existing antennas at served agencies, generating this 
map could be done anytime.

  My soul is with serving the needs of the community, rather than the 
narrowly defined needs of Fire/Police.

Regards, Chuck
