Public Service Forum:
(Schedule)

Ted Schultz, N6RPG - "Working Together When Disaster Strikes" - Ted, the Section Emergency Coordinator for the ARRL's Orange Section, will lead a panel discussion of leaders from various emergency communications groups and public service groups. The discussion will focus upon how these groups will be activated during a major disaster (an earthquake, for example) and how they will work together during such an activation. After the discussion and a "question and answer period with audience participation, the panel members and the members of the audience will have an opportunity to "network" with each other, discussing and sharing such things as mutual aid agreements, upcoming training events and related information, net times and frequencies (in order to help ensure smoother operations during simultaneous activations) and group contact information.

John Davis, WB6ASH Eileen Clark, KG6BXA - "Aid to Athletic Events and Other Emergency Preparedness Communications " - Go to the area where the communications are needed. It does not come to you. What is being done and why. Techniques to enhance the service.

Howard Burkhart - "Disaster Preparedness for the Amateur Radio Operator: What to do When Your Radio Brings You NO HELP!" - When disaster strikes, you will need to do much more than communicate! Lists of suggested disaster preparedness supplies are common and often outdated; commercial kits are often incomplete or overstated. Howard will show you the best ways to prepare. What things really are priorities, and what things are secondary. When to improvise, when to buy commercial products, and how to set spending priorities and avoid costly mistakes.

Cindy Hughes, KC6OPI - "Red Cross"
