Throughout the world and across time, amateur
radio operators are known by their unique ability to reuse their interest
in radio to communicate during times of emergency and disaster. A
number of amateurs radio operators volunteer with established agencies
that are active during emergencies and disasters, such as:
-
Government agencies such as Civil Defense, police and fire departments
-
Relief agencies such as the American Red Cross and Salvation Army
-
Community groups such as churches, Boy and Girl Scouts
In response to wide-spread interest, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL)
is embarking on a program to certify amateurs that have successfully passed
self-study courses on emergency communications.
A team of seasoned emergency communications experts are providing the
ARRL with input to the courseware that will lead to the certification program.
The goal is to complete the submission to ARRL by July 31, 2000.
