GlobalSET 2015 - Exercise Complete

On the IARU Region 1 site Greg Mossop G0DUB reports the GlobalSET 2015
emergency communications exercise is now complete

The Global Simulated Emergency Test ( GlobalSET ) started on 18th
December with a 24-48 hour timelimit for Emergency Communications
Groups around the world to carry out an availability exercise,
contacting their members to find out how many would be available
within 1-12 hours.

38 countries took part in the Test, 22 from Region 1 and while initial
results have proved that amateur radio can respond quickly to an
emergency call, even one on a working day, there has also been a great
deal to learn about the reliability of the systems we use and the
resilience of our structures.

All webforms used for collecting data for this exercise have now been
closed and the results are being analysed with the target of the
exercise report being published to Emergency Communications Groups by
25th December.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this valuable exercise.
