ARLA/CLUSTER: Radioamadores do Canadá organizam teste simulado de emergência a 13 de Outubro de 2018

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Simulated Emergency Test

Date: Saturday, October 13
*Note: In Ontario the Simulated Emergency Test will be held on Saturday,
October 13 but at Emergency Operations Centres that are located in
Municipal offices, that can’t get access on the weekend, the SET will also
be held on Wednesday, October 10.*

The *Simulated Emergency Test* is a North America-wide exercise in
emergency communications, administered by the American Radio Relay League
and the RAC Emergency Coordinators (EC) and Net Managers (NM). Both the Amateur
Radio Emergency Services (ARES) <https://wp.rac.ca/ares/> and the National
Traffic System (NTS) are involved.

The SET weekend gives communicators the opportunity to focus on the
emergency-communications capability within your community, while
interacting with NTS nets. RAC administers our Canadian SETs.

Among other objectives we aim to strengthen the relationship between ARES
and served municipalities and relief agencies. It is vitally important that
this be done at the local EC level.

*Purpose of SET:*

1) To find out the strengths and weaknesses of the ARES, NTS and other
groups providing emergency communications.

2) To provide a public demonstration to served agencies, such as the Red
Cross, of Emergency Preparedness and, through the news media, of the value
to the public that Amateur Radio provides, particularly in time of need.

3) To help Radio Amateurs gain experience in communications using standard
procedures and a variety of modes under simulated-emergency conditions.
