IARU R2 Emergency Communications Workshop

The second *IARU Region 2 Emergency Communications Workshop* was held
October 11, 2016 in Viñadel Mar, Chile in conjunction with the IARU Region
2 XIX General Assembly

The event featured speakers on topics that relate to international issues
facing Amateur Radio’s response to emergencies and disasters.

The discussion, both inside and outside the workshop, focused on the themes
discussed in the first workshop as well as new focus area to address in
IARU Region 2.

Topics covered the use of Winlink, SATERN support for Salvation Army
disaster response, the role of ITU, developing operator and communications
skills, AREDN mesh networking technology for disaster response, and
emergency communications response in Venezuela.
Dr. Cesar Pio Santos, HR2P, provided an overview of emergency
communications activities in IARU Region 2 since the last workshop in 2013.
Mike Corey, KI1U, briefed attendees on the findings from the 2013 Emergency
Communications Workshop in Cancun.

The availability of platforms such as *Google Hangout*, *Skype*, and
similar virtual meeting programs make it possible to connect those in IARU
Region 2 involved with Amateur Radio emergency communications. This could
allow for coordination, training, and preparedness networking. Additionally
it may provide a means for youth participation in virtual emergency
communications workshops.

Traditional means of Amateur Radio communication, such as voice and CW, are
vital to our ability to provide emergency communications in IARU Region 2.
We must encourage the development of operator skills through on air
activity and continued training. Additionally, due to new and emerging
communications needs, we must encourage the wide use of new technologies
-radio email such as Winlink, mesh networking protocols like that presented
by AREDN, weak signal modes, and improved health and welfare messaging – so
to meet the needs of served agencies.

The IARU Region 2 Emergency Coordinators will explore the possibility of an
online emergency communications resource library to be made available to
IARU Region 2 member societies and Amateur Radio emergency communications
enthusiasts.
