Amateur Radio emergency communication volunteers needed!


UPDATE -- On behalf of the American Red Cross, the ARRL is seeking
experienced Amateur Radio emergency volunteers to help supplement
communication for Red Cross feeding and sheltering operations in
Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle--as many as 200 locations in
all. Special consideration will be given to operators who have successfully
completed the ARRL Amateur Radio Emergency Communications course training
(Level I minimum) to serve as team leaders. These volunteer operators will
help to provide communication and equipment for relief efforts in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Volunteers may face hardship conditions
without the usual amenities and will need to provide their own
transportation to the marshaling area. 
Working in cooperation with the ARRL, http://katrina.ab2m.net/ will now be
handling all volunteer sign ups for the Katrina Relief effort. If you have
already entered your information to Katrina at arrl.org, your information will
be forwarded to AB2M to avoid duplication. 

Katrina at arrl.org should be used for all other inquiries to the ARRL
regarding Hurricane Katrina.
