Just what I needed - something added to my schedule. There is a board meeting tonight for the County Resource Center and Bill and I will be doing a brief presentation on what the communications group is planning.
Going to try to get space and funding for a permanent ham radio station.
As I have said before, we are at the end of a very long supply chain and if there is an interruption (mudslide / power outage / fire / earthquake / volcanic eruption / etc...) we are going to be one of the last places to get a response from the "official" first responders. The list of hazards I quoted are very real for this area. Mt. Baker is an active volcano, there is a seismic fault about 10 miles away from my house and there was a major forest fire in 2009.
Getting people to be aware of this and to stock enough food and water for all family members for a week or two is crucial to the overall health of the community.
