There is a desire from the WV Emergency Management Division to have a list of licensed ham radio operators willing to help if the communication need would arise. Please note that this is not the same as being affiliated with ARES; however, the WVEMD is one of the agencies which ARES may serve if asked.

If anyone is interested, please see the email and link below.

Best regards,

Good Afternoon Liaisons,

I am sending to you a link to share with our county/local EMs and local ham radio operators. This survey is based on EmComm and will help West Virginia Emergency Management have a list of users to assist in emergency communications should amateur radio communications be needed.

WVEMD EmComm survey

I am uncertain if the link will work in the reflector, so here is my best attempt to provide a URL:

WVEMD EmComm Survey (arcgis.com)

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
