ARLA/CLUSTER: Exercicio "Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications" a 14 e 15 de Agosto de 2014

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

The GAREC-2014 program will be finalised soon

The Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications (GAREC) will be held
this year on August the 14th and 15th in conjunction with Alabama's
Huntsville Hamfest.

GAREC-2014 invites all those involved with emergency communication to
hear presentations on the use of advanced technologies, IARU Region
reports and displays.

Among the reports will be a powerpoint on Super Typhoon that struck
the central part of the Philippines, and how 100 radio amateurs
provided vital emergency communications.

Presentations are expected also from the Salvation Army Team Emergency
Radio Network (SATERN), and the Military Auxiliary Radio System
(MARS).

The annual GAREC Banquet Dinner is another opportunity to socialise
and learn more about emergency communications and preparedness
training.

Participating in GAREC-2014 also offers the opportunity to attend the
big Huntsville Hamfest, an ARRL Centennial Event, on the weekend of
August 16-17 2014. (Details at www.hamfest.org/).
