ARLA/CLUSTER: Radioamadores americanos treinam resposta à emergência

Hams help train emergency responders

The Ridgefield Press in Connecticut reports that members of Ridgefield's volunteer disaster communications team - all specially trained, FCC-licensed, amateur radio operators - have been assisting in the development of a communications training video for use by fire, police and emergency medical first responders.

Oscar Fuller of Danbury is coordinating the project. He is a member of Ridgefield's communication team, called R-COMM, and Connecticut Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES).

The video will demonstrate the capabilities of amateur radio equipment and disaster-trained operators. Ridgefield's Emergency Operations Center or EOC and many centers and hospitals throughout Region 5 are equipped with amateur radio equipment that provides backup communications when normal communication channels are out of service.
