[SMCARA] EMCOMM Tips

Hi All,

Just a very basic overview:

When the EOC gets activated (let's say 24 to 36 hours before land-fall) we will call a resource net on the 64 machine and ask people to check-in with their name, callsign and location. The people that check-in may be asked to help depending on location and equipment.  Some people might be asked to man the radio room in Leonardtown or a shelter location. You will need a go bag with meds, change of clothes, etc to bring with you. You could be away from home for a couple of days.

An announcement over commercial radio might be released by the County PIO requesting Amateur Radio operators to monitor the 64 machine and check-in when requested. 

In the event that the repeater goes down, use the repeater output frequency in simplex mode, no tone.

Later,
