    Herman can you please send this e-mail to everyone...

    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.
