Amateur Radio in Emergencies and Disaster Relief Efforts

 

 

Emergency communications is a critical component of all emergency response and relief efforts. During a large scale disaster, it can be expected that critical infrastructure such as power and telecommunications will be severely impacted and unavailable.  Amateur Radio operators can help fill the communications gap.

 

 Amateur Radio operators across the country and around the world bring a unique set of skills and services that are used to supplement existing communication networks. They can serve as a vital communication links when established methods of communication fail.  This presentation takes a look at what Amateur Radio is and how it can support Emergency and Disaster Relief Efforts.
