With just over a month to go, Berkshire County ARES looks good to set up in North Adams, and Franklin/Hampshire is working on Greenfield.

I'm hopeful that MEMA and FEMA will be available to participate, but no firm word yet.

I've been reaching out to western Massachusetts emergency managers to see if they are interested in supporting our Simulated Emergency Test.  So far I have interest from the Emergency Management Directors from Plainfield and Leominster.  

However, no ARES members have volunteered to participate from those locations.  I will have to tell those EMDs that we don't have the ability to help.  That won't give them much confidence in us in a real emergency.  

If you can help, please let me or your DEC/EC know.
