What other communities are doing.... Did you know that the LVH CERT team now has 6 trained HAMs?


The Daily Times - www.delmarvanow.com - Salisbury, Md.: "Sussex County is seeking a few talented, energetic amateur radio operators to help out during emergencies as “eyes and ears” across the county.

The new Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service group, launched last year, will use ham radio operators both in the field and in the county’s new Emergency Operations Center to relay on-the-ground reports of weather conditions and other emergency situations back to emergency managers.

John Ferguson, a longtime Georgetown-area ham radio operator who is heading up the program, said he also wants to get 16 hams trained to staff the emergency center 24/7 during critical situations."
