News Times Live Volunteers help elderly plan for emergencies
News Times Live Volunteers help elderly plan for emergencies: "Volunteers help elderly plan for emergencies By Mark Langlois STAFF WRITER DANBURY -- Everyone knows they should have a family emergency plan to use in a crisis, but writing one never seems to happen or the one they have is out of date. 'It's really not that difficult to write one,' said Robie Barile, who heads a team of emergency volunteers who live at the Glen Apartments in Rogers Park and look after its senior residents in a crisis. 'People are so busy, they never seem to get to it.'"

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | UK plan to track asteroid threat
BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | UK plan to track asteroid threat: "Apophis caused some consternation in 2004 when initial observations suggested it might hit Earth in 2029. Further study by ground-based telescopes indicated there was virtually no chance of this happening, and the expectation is that the object will whiz past the Earth at a close but comfortable distance of just under 36,000km (22,400 miles)."
ARRLWeb: Michigan Hams Activated Due to Storms and Tornado
ARRLWeb: Michigan Hams Activated Due to Storms and Tornado: "As the county's fire departments started to move toward the building collapse in Fenton, hams were already on the scene. Bond and Mike Schafer, KB8RVP, shifted gears from weather spotters to Fire Coordination operators. At the request of the fire chief at the scene, Bond went to the Fenton City fire station and, using ham radio, assisted their dispatch center; the storm had damaged their radio fire communications tower, so Bond and Schafer started working dispatch for them using their ham radios until the dispatch center was able to resume normal fire communications. Jerry Baker, KD8AYL, was next to arrive on the scene at the collapsed building and after meeting with the Incident Commander, Baker was assigned the task to set up radio communications with more ARES volunteers in the Flint region. As more reports of damage came in, the Fenton City and Township Fire Department became overloaded; their crippled communications tower did not help matters. ARES Emergency Coordinator for Genesee County Greg Ybarra, N8HXQ, coordinated the response during this incident and put out a call for help to District 3 Emergency Coordinator Greg Allinger, WA8OGJ. Allinger contacted other ARES units in the state, and Amateur Radio operators from nine Michigan counties responded to the Fenton area to help."
