Just FYI….this came to my attention last evening. We are keeping an eye on the situation and are in communication with the appropriate Sections.
HQ Emergency Response Team keeping an eye on Isaias.
On Sunday ARRL Assistant Emergency Preparedness Manager Ken Bailey K1FUG sent an email to all ARRL sections expected to be impacted by hurricane Isaias. The following sections replied; SFL, GA, NC, SC, NH, EMA, and WMA. There were no requests for equipment because HQ has prepositioned Ham-Aid kits in ARRL sections routinely subjected to tropical storms and hurricanes. Some of the responding sections provided situation reports (sitreps). All sections that replied indicated that the potential for a communication emergency exists and Emergency Operations Plans were being implemented.
At the time of this report, the following sections have not reported; VA, MD, DE, EPA, NLI, RI or ME.
Ken Bailey, K1FUG
