Hurricane Matthew: Ham Radio Response

Oct 7 ARRL reports Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteers in
Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas are helping or gearing up to support
communication during the response to Hurricane Matthew

Governors have declared states of emergency for some or all counties, and
multiple shelters have opened in all four states, housing thousands of
evacuees. Florida avoided a direct hit, but, the National Hurricane Center
(NHC) reports that “severe Hurricane Matthew� was lashing Florida’s
northeastern coast. A hurricane warning has been extended to Surf City,
North Carolina.

The Northern Florida ARES Net has been called up on 3950 or 7242 kHz, and
the Statewide Amateur Radio Network (SARnet) also has been activated. Some
1 million Florida residents were reported to be without power, and many
have evacuated to shelters. KX4EOC at the St Johns County, Florida,
emergency operations center in St Augustine, is reported to be operating on
auxiliary power.

As of 1800 UTC Oct 7, Hurricane Matthew was about 40 miles east-southeast
of St Augustine, Florida, and some 60 miles southeast of Jacksonville
Beach, Florida. The storm has maximum sustained winds of 115 MPH, and it’s
heading north-northwest at 12 MPH. Hurricane Matthew has yet to make
landfall.
