Hurricane Hilary

All,

Remember as NEARES, emergency communications is our specialty.  We have attached an email from ARRL ARES.  We are committed to our communities in the event of failed communication infrastructure.  If you have any questions, contact Ed Holloway.

From Josh Johnston @ ARRL….

Good Morning everyone.  I hope everyone is faring well.  We have found ourselves in a very active emergency event situation around the country.  Between continued monitoring of Hilary as it moves farther North to fires around the country and now watching a string of tropical systems in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.  It appears that Texas will be affected tomorrow by what could potentially be a tropical storm by the time it makes landfall.  We are also still in communications with leaders in Hawaii during the recovery there.

I just wanted to reach out to everyone and let you know we are continually monitoring all these systems as they affect us all.  We also wanted to remind you that we have equipment available to you during an event and can be to you usually within 24 hrs. as needed.  Please email ares@arrl.orgif you have questions, requests, or information to share with us. Please let us know if you have any deployments during any events please let us know about those.  It helps us share the word regarding HAM radio activity during an event. It also helps us share the story of the important role you all play during disaster response and gives credit for the work you are all doing around the country.

Please reach out to us if you have questions, requests, information or just need to discuss anything.  We are here to support you.

The top priority for us and hope for you all is that everyone stays safe with as little impact to your self and family as possible.
