ARLA/CLUSTER: GlobalSET 2015 - A preparação mundial para exercícios mais exigentes

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

GlobalSET 2015 - a worldwide preparedness exercise

The Global Simulated Emergency Test introduced in 2006 and organised
by IARU Region 1, concentrated primarily on testing use of the
emergency centre of activity frequencies defined in the band plans.

A new test this month will show that Amateur Radio is able to respond
quickly to an emergency.

IARU Region 1 Emergency Coordinator Greg Mossup G0DUB says GlobalSET
2015 will now focus on our organisation rather than on how easily
groups can set up field stations.

No one is expected to get on air, so the exercise is independent of
any HF propagation problems.

Yet to be announced, it will be sometime between December 12 and 22,
with the event being triggered by Regional Emergency Communications
Co-Ordinators.

Greg G0DUB says all IARU Member Societies and Groups known to be
active in emergency communications have been asked to contact their
members and ask them how quickly they could get on air if required.

There is a time limit of 24-48 hours to complete their local call out
exercise, and submit their results through a web form which will make
the results far easier to produce than earlier years.

Greg G0DUB hopes that by using a web form, any language barriers are
removed as online translation tools can be used to convert this into
their local language to make it easier to fill in.

The web address will be given when the exercise starts and information
will be gathered by each region separately.
