Yesterday (Saturday) our ham radio club, the Southern Ohio Amateur Radio Association, participated in a very realistic hazardous materials spill simulation. While I?ve been involved in drills like this before, I was really impressed by this one. It was put on by the Emergency Management Agency in the county where I live and was very realistic.
Our club is also a part of ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Services) and our members tend to be ?doers? rather than just ?talkers?. We?re involved in many local events ? whenever and wherever specialized communications are needed. We have close working relationships with state, county and various law enforcement agencies and especially with the American Red Cross.
I know that not everyone is interested in things like this, so rather than take up bandwidth on the forums, I did a write-up with a few photos on one of my web pages. If you?d like to know what this simulation looked like and who was involved, click on the link below:
