DISCUSSION: What Can We Do Before Vaccine Becomes Available?
COMMENT: HAM radio personnel included in many plans
Submitted by Sharon Hutchins on 12/6/07 4:46 PM
Diana's idea of HAM radio is a great one and is in fact already incorporated into a number of emergency plans I know of. Our county routinely exercises (several times a year) with two different radio clubs. They have helped us and hospitals select good equipment and helped to train on its use. One problem, however, is that most club members are older -- few younger people are interested these days it seems.
