First thing is, I got word from Matt KD5KNZ the Assistant State
Emergency Coordinator that GOHSEP / State EOC will be monitoring our
drill on Sunday September 7,2014.
Information on the Hurricane Drill.. 146.82 Repeater in New Orleans
KEEP IN MIND AN AVERAGE HURRICANE WILL TAKE 12 TO 24 HOURS TO GO
THROUGH THE CITY AND WE ARE GOING TO DO IT IN 2 HOURS.
The Hurricane Drill will begin at 6 PM and end at 8 PM. The Scenario
will be a category 4 Hurricane coming up the mouth of the
Mississippi River. In addition, we will have other scenarios that
occurred from other hurricanes such as levee breeches, tornadoes,
flooding, loss of communications with the state system etc. ALL
AMATUER RADIO OPERATORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT.
REMEMBER WE ARE THE EYES FOR THE PUBLIC.
We will post a Hurricane watch for New Orleans sometime around 3-4
PM Saturday evening. On Sunday morning we will post a Hurricane
warning bulletin for New Orleans with a time of Hurricane net DRILL
activation.
The Crescent City Amateur Radio Group will activate our Traffic Net
at 5:30 PM. On September 7, 2014. The Purpose of this net is to
assist motorist & amateur radio operators who have decided to
evacuate for the storm. We will be giving directions on counter flow
traffic and looking for amateur radio operators to give traffic
reports such as breakdowns and accidents etc so the proper
authorities can clear up and keep the traffic on the interstate
flowing. In addition, we will be announcing which airports will be
used for what purpose. We are asking for all EOC Liaisonpersonnel
and Coast Guard Auxiliary personnel to start monitoring the air at
that time for any assistance.
Everyone, remember when the hurricane net is activated please check
in with net control with your name, location, call sign. If you are
an EOC officer or a Coast Guard Auxiliary please indicate this as
well when checking in.
