Bill, thank you for passing this on to the group. This highlights an idea I brought up at a recent ARES meeting and I envision SBARC, ARES, CERT and other local groups like home owners assns and neighborhood watch playing important roles. It's about "who ya gonna call" when 911, cell phones, etc are not capable. I see SBARC and others recruiting communicators while ARES trains the leaders and coordinates communication. There's a lot of room for inclusion and creativity to build and prepare a network to be effective in the worst circumstances. The technology, people and motivation are out there, we just need a cooperative team to pull it all together. With the fire season on top of us now, this can't happen soon enough. - Rod WB9KMO
