Indonesia Earthquakes and Tsunami

A sequence of earthquakes and a tsunami in the Indonesian areas of Donggala
and Palu on September 28 have left hundreds of people dead and many more
injured

*Dani Halim, YB2TJV*, as the new IARU R3 Disaster Communication Coordinator
reports, Amateur Radio Operators in Indonesia immediately activated to
respond to the disaster unfolding in Central Sulawesi Province.

Following the magnitude 7.7 earthquake at 17:02 Local Time (11:02 am UTC),
electricity, cellular and all communication facilities in the area are cut
off. Communications have been established from the Luwuk Disaster
Management Agency located 700 km from the epicenter of the Earthquake with
YD8MII (Net Control) and YC8OBM to get information on landslides occurring
in the area and that communications routes were blocked. Many photos and
videos now circulating on social media, show the enormity of the earthquake.

The Indonesian National Society ORARI immediately established an Emergency
Net on 7.110 MHz and also activated the Lapan-Orari IO-86 satellite as a
back up.

Communications have now been established with YB8NT and YB8PR in Palu who
are using mobile stations.Due to QRM on 7.110MHz though, a second net has
been set up on 7.065 MHz.

ORARI asks that they are given room to use 7.110 MHz and 7.065 MHz since
this earthquake is could be worse than the one in Lombok in the end of
August please allow them a QRM free space to complete their work.
