Ham radio vital to emergency communications
The Herald-Citizen reports it is a vital component when it comes to
communication during disasters
"HAM radios were very useful during Katrina and 9/11," Marty Smith,
emergency coordinator with the Putnam County Amateur Radio Emergency
Services (ARES), said.
The ARES came about during the civil defense days and consists of
licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications
and equipment, with their local ARES leadership, for communications
duty in the public service when disaster strikes.
The Putnam County ARES was activated during last week’s ice storm as
the emergency operation center was set up.
