Members of DBARS maintain and
operate the Emergency Operations Center for the City of Diamond Bar. The
XX ft. trailer has radio facilities for the 160m-75cm ham bands as
well as links to the Walnut Sheriffs and Fire departments.
The EOC
sports a crank up tower for a tri-band HF antenna. VHF and UHF antennae
are permanently mounted.
AC power for the EOC can come from commercial
mains or from an onboard propane powered generator. 12V DC batteries are
continuously charged from either the generator or from solar panels
mounted on the roof of the EOC.
DBARS members would operate the EOC in
case of city wide emergencies.
