Preparing for emergencies: Radio hams ready to help out

The *Rexburg Standard Journal* interviews radio amateur *Todd Smith N7TMS*
about his emergency communications work in Rexburg, Idaho

For the past two years, Todd has been helping to organize amateur radio
operators as part of an effort by the LDS Church to be prepared for
emergencies.

As part of his church responsibilities, he currently serves as an assistant
North America Idaho Area Emergency Communication Specialist that covers the
states of Idaho and Montana, as coordinator for the Rexburg region, and as
the emergency communication specialist for the Rexburg East Stake where he
lives.

He said most stakes in the Rexburg area have an emergency communication
specialist and some wards also have ward specialists.

If an emergency or disaster were to happen, the bishop or stake president
will use these communication specialists to help relay information to
church members and church leaders. Besides using amateur radios, the ward
and stake volunteers may be trained in setting up calling trees to contact
church members and how to use social media such as Facebook to provide
information.
