Hams in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio Provide Support During and After Tornado Outbreak |
|
03/14/2012 A devastating storm system moved across the United States on March 2, spawning a slew of tornadoes that contributed to at least 28 fatalities in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. These tornadoes followed an earlier outbreak that began on February 28 and left 13 dead across Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Tennessee and battered parts of Kentucky. The Clark County (Indiana) Emergency Management Agency activated the local RACES team to help provide communications support, hams in Eastern Kentucky set up SKYWARN nets to assist the local National Weather Service office and Cincinnati-area hams supported the National Weather Service and the American Red Cross. Indiana On March 2, with a cold front bringing extreme weather to the Ohio Valley, the Clark County RACES team set up a SKYWARN net to relay weather reports to the National Weather Service office in Louisville, Kentucky. According to Clark County Assistant Emergency Coordinator Jeffrey Brady, N9WSV, this front spawned several tornadoes that swept through the northern part of Clark County, as well as other nearby counties. |

Trained emcomm operators needed in the wake of the tornadoes Ham radio operators were activated after a rash of tornadoes hit in several states. We have more in this report. Trained ham radio communicators are needed in Clark County, Indiana fallowing tornadoes that devastated the area on March 2. In a posting to the Indiana Ham remailer picked up on QRZ.com, Jeff Brady, N9WSV, who is the Assistant Emergency Coordinator for Clark County, Indiana, says that more operators are needed to assist in recovery efforts Brady says that they could use additional operators to man various posts even if its only for a few hours a day. But do not just show up on site. Rather, if you can assist first contact N9WSV by phone at 502-777-7304 or e-mail to n9wsv (at)arrl.net If you are in the area he is monitoring the 146.940 repeater which requires a 67hz sub-audible access tone. N9WSV adds that the local team of radio operators have put in many hours and any relief is greatly appreciated. Source: Script provided by Amateur Radio News Line. |
