Pennsylvania Amateurs Support FEMA Emergency Management Course Exercise

Over the last three years the South Central (Pennsylvania) Task Force Amateur
Radio Working Group (SCTF-ARWG) has provided radio communications support for
the Integrated Emergency Management Course (IEMC) held at the FEMA Emergency
Management Institute (EMI) campus in Emmitsburg, Maryland. The ARWG is a
cooperative organization of Amateur Radio groups and individuals involved with
emergency communications in the eight county region of Pennsylvania. The group,
through its Hospital Emergency Amateur Radio Service (HEARS), also supports
emergency communications functions for healthcare facilities in the region. It
is charged with coordinating activities and interoperability among Amateur
Radio communication assets and organizations. The ARWG participates with
ARES(R) and the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES).

"For the IEMC exercise portion, we typically have a voice/data VHF/UHF station
in the IEMC's sim cell and each of the simulated EOCs," reports ARWG chairman
Don Schmitt, K3DCS. "Our task is to pass exercise injects and handle response
messages during a simulated total outage of EOC power, telephone and public
safety communications." "Messages are passed using both voice and data modes
(fldigi) over amateur service frequencies."

The SCTF-ARWG communications team has participated in this FEMA program with
visiting emergency managers and personnel from counties and cities in Florida,
Utah and Alabama. "Our team is requested to assist when the visiting emergency
management agency (EMA) has a RACES, ARES or ACS group integrated with their
staff representatives," said Schmitt. Recently, when a Calhoun County, Alabama
EMA brought ARES members along to support exercise communications at the
simulated EOCs, members of the ARWG team who are also ARES members (from Adams
and York counties, Pennsylvania) assisted them. Pennsylvania state EMA (PEMA)
ACS Coordinator Susan Singer, KB3KDC, observes and participates with the
SCTF-ARWG team.

"Our ARWG communications team is honored to be asked to regularly support FEMA
EMI with the IEMC program," Schmitt said. "Over the years of participation the
team has learned a lot working with FEMA EMI staff and each of the
participating county/city agencies. The hot wash report from FEMA EMI
continually gives high marks to the Amateur Radio group. Frequently,
participating EMA groups state that they didn't fully realize how valuable
Amateur Radio could be to their emergency operations and planning." - [Don

Services; and ARRL ARES Emergency Coordinator, Adams County, PA]


Western Washington Amateurs Activated for Landslide

In the afternoon of Wednesday, December 9th, the northbound lanes of Interstate
5, a major transportation route along the West coast, were blocked by a
landslide at mile post 23, just north of Woodland, Washington. Boulders the
size of small trucks, mud, and trees invaded all three traffic lanes. Mother
Nature did an excellent job of picking a slide location that would create the
most chaos as there are no alternate routes in the area, and another slide
blocked US Hwy 30 just across the Columbia River in Oregon.

Woodland, a tiny community of less than 5,800 residents located at the southern
tip of Cowlitz County, was inundated by thousands of unexpected cars and trucks
taking exits 21 and 22. Emergency Coordinator Randy Greeley, NU7D put out a
heads up email on Wednesday evening, and the Cowlitz County Department of
Emergency Management, led by professional Emergency Manager Ernie Schnabler,
KB7YPU, activated the ARES portion of its ACS volunteer group on Thursday
morning, December 10th.

Handling the coordination at Woodland was the Mayor of Woodland, Grover Laseke,
KG7O, and Clark County ARES Team 1 Leader Randy Walter, K7LNR. Two shelters
were opened for motorists, one by the Red Cross at Grace Community Church on
the east side of the freeway, and one at Woodland High School on the west side
of the freeway. Walter reported that "Woodland High School canceled school for
the day and opened its facilities to stranded travelers with support from its
staff." Both shelters, Woodland City Hall, and the Washington State Department
of Transportation (at the scene of the slide) were supported by Amateur Radio
communications.

Two VHF repeaters owned by the Lower Columbia Amateur Radio Association were
used to facilitate the amateur response. The City of Woodland produced two sets
of situation update flyers for posting at local businesses on both sides of the
freeway, and the second set was distributed by Dave Bunch, KF7MJQ, and Walter.
Other radio amateurs providing communications assistance to the Woodland
landslide incident were Bill Czarnecki, KF7ZAT, Carl Gray, K7ECW, Cecil Woolfe,
KE7UAN, Colleen Greeley, KB7AYY, Darin Hokanson, KD7TJR, Gordon Spalding,
WA6TTR, Jeff Edgecomb, KB7PMO, Jeff Hillendahl, KJ6ETR, Kie Ludwig, KD7UQR,
Phil Vanderschaegen, KF7SJK, Ray Blanke, KC7MRM, and Stan Mourning, KF7CVR.

One element of the response that could have been improved from the perspective
of the stranded motorists was the (non-amateur) communications between
Washington and Oregon. Because of the slides on two parallel north-south
highways at the same time, northbound motorists on US Hwy 30 in Oregon were
redirected to I-5 in Washington, and northbound motorists on I-5 in Washington
were redirected to US Hwy 30 in Oregon.

Two of the three lanes of northbound I-5 were re-opened in the evening on
Thursday, December 10th, after a closure of approximately 28 hours, and the
Amateur Radio communications support teams were released. Radio amateurs
contributed 163.5 hours and drove 368 miles. -- Steve Aberle, WA7PTM, ARRL

Bio Shield 2015: Martin County (Florida) ARES Drills on Biological Attack

"This is a drill, this is only a drill," began Martin County (Florida) ARES'
participation in Bio Shield 2015, an exercise that saw teams from the Florida
Department of Health in Martin County and local, state and federal partners
involved in a preparedness drill to test emergency response. The exercise was
held November 3-4, following an air show, which also had ARES participation, in
Stuart, a small town on the lower east coast of the Florida peninsula.

Soon after the air show ended and pursuant to the exercise scenario, a body was
found in a remote airport hangar. According to the scenario, it was determined
that the victim had died from the effects of a biological weapon. Other
"victims" in the area were showing signs of distress. Thus began the
coordinated emergency training drill for Martin County, a three day preplanned
exercise for training on, containment of, and otherwise dealing with biologic
threats. The drill also involved fire departments, other first responders,
police and helicopter support.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) oversaw the operation. The Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) also participated. Martin County ARES assisted
with simulated emergency communications.

The county fairground was designated as an area for responders to rest, eat and
observe the progress of the event. The local American Red Cross facility was
staffed by an ARES team, and operators were involved with scenarios involving
food, water and bedding distribution there. ARES members were also tasked with
coordinating delivery of food, ice and supplies to the fairgrounds for first
responders.

Participating in Bio Shield 2015 was a first for the Martin County ARES group -
their simulated emergency tests are typically based on hurricane situations.
The ARES team fielded 17 operators for the county wide biological threat
training drill.

The exercise followed the Stuart Air Show, held on October 30 - November 1,
with the Martin County Amateur Radio Association and ARES participating. 50,000
attended this year's event. The air show features reenactments of World War II
battles, with paratroopers dropping on to the main display area. The Martin
County ARA and ARES operators set up a tri-band antenna on a tower trailer,
with the tower raised to 45 feet. Contacts were made with stations around the
country and the globe. A special event call sign was employed: N4A - phonetics
were "November 4 America."

QSOs were sometimes difficult to make over the din of a Boeing F-18 supersonic
fighter jet passing 200 feet overhead at 650 mph, with simulated gunfire. For
members of the Amateur Radio team, this event is the operating highlight of the
year. Members hand out ARRL promotional material and information on licensing.
This year was the club's best for contacts made: 1070. Events such as the air
show and Bio Shield help prepare Martin County radio amateurs for operation in
the field when real emergencies and disasters occur. -- Gary Webster, K4GMW,
Jensen Beach, Florida

[From Ready.gov, biological agents are organisms or toxins that can kill or
incapacitate people, livestock and crops. A biological attack is the deliberate
release of germs or other biological substances that can make you sick. The
three basic groups of biological agents that would likely be used as weapons
are bacteria, viruses and toxins. Most biological agents are difficult to grow
and maintain. Many break down quickly when exposed to sunlight and other
environmental factors, while others, such as anthrax spores, are very long
lived. Biological agents can be dispersed by spraying them into the air, by
infecting animals that carry the disease to humans and by contaminating food
and water. Delivery methods include: aerosols, animals, food and water
contamination, and person-to-person. Specific information on biological agents
is available through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. - ed.]


Public Service Communications: Know, Communicate, and Maintain the Boundaries

Here are two quotes, which stunned me as much as they should you: "I had no
idea what the hams were doing -- they were making decisions that were not
theirs to make.""The hams never integrated." The latter may speak to the
former, but these quotes come from two distinct organizations, neither having
any connection with the other except for this: negative experiences with our
amateur service. These same organizations eventually came back to Amateur
Radio, both thanks to a refreshing change in leadership, and with an
encouraging constant that held through good times and bad: the quality of our
average volunteer. I hear it so often and from every organization and agency:
"The hams are dedicated. They show up on time, eager to help. They are our best
volunteers."

With people like these, why such dissonance? It's a leadership issue, but more
than this I believe it comes down to individual relationships and a failure
sometimes to recognize, communicate, and maintain boundaries.

It's a whole new ball game nowadays. We're not on the scene just to erect a few
antennas and check in with net control. Our new roles involve working closer
with others, understanding and speaking the language of our "client," doing a
lot of communicating long before the event or emergency occurs, and
establishing boundaries: Who is responsible for what? How will we handle a
particular issue? Who do we report to? Amazingly, time and again, I find these
basic questions are never considered by those who allege to lead our teams. It
is, I think, the one reason why we sometimes fail.

In our Western culture, boundaries are commonly considered in a negative frame
of reference, but in the field of human relationships where we do much of our
interfacing in Amateur Radio public service, boundaries build trust and
confidence and they simply make everything run smoother.

I was asked to help organize communications services for a small athletic
event. It had the typical closed-course, with water stops, a medical tent, and
a loosely constructed set of event leadership. I had reservations: no
participation was permitted in the pre-event planning. No integration of our
service within the event structure was allowed. We were, I was told, "trusted"
to do the right thing. This approach, with its cart before the horse, spelled
trouble. Horses don't follow carts very well I thought, and should anything
screw up we'll be on the hook. Still, I pitched in and put it together, but
with a very cautious approach. Instead of waiting for the rules, I set them
myself, and very conservatively. Just before things kicked off I cornered the
event official. In friendly fashion I said, "Our job is to provide instant and
reliable communications to support safety and extend your decision-making
reach, nothing more. This is your event and you make the decisions." I think it
was the "nothing more" that stuck, plus the open recognition of and deference
to his authority. It opened his eyes, and a few doors. Now, several years doing
the same event (we didn't screw up), our roles are expanded, and conversations
are finally taking place. I don't recommend this tactic for every event, and I
probably would not do it this way again, but perhaps it helps make the point.

Boundaries are everywhere and must be considered in how we create a
communications plan, what's in the plan, and how it's executed. But plans are
only as good as those who follow along. The ARRL Emergency Communications
course training reminds us that our role within the EOC, UCC, or any place
where we serve others, is to work as a "team player." We are encouraged to take
orders (in other words, respect and support boundaries), and to understand that
doing so is one of the basic expectations. Things become quickly dysfunctional
when a volunteer struts about, insecure and lacking internal controls, inside a
group that recognizes the vital link between organization and success; teamwork
and individual contribution; working within established channels, consistent
with the plan.

As a leader, how open are you to understanding, communicating and maintaining
boundaries? I encourage you to consider these questions. If uncertain, then
ask. If you discover areas of your work that might cross a boundary previously
unconsidered, discuss it with those above you in the chain of command. If a
volunteer crosses the line, perform rapid correction, then improve training,
and refine your volunteer selection, screening, and assignment. Above all, make
it your goal as a leader to listen, and to approach your bosses and your teams
with a relationship-opening attitude. Replacing "here's what I will do for you"
with the simple question "how may we be of service?" goes a long, long way.

Boundaries -- they're waiting to be better understood, communicated, refined,
and maintained. Our Amateur Radio communications service will be all the better
for such efforts. - Mark Richards, K1MGY, Littleton, Massachusetts [Richards

Letters: "What You Are Not"

The article "What You Are Not" in the October 22, 2015, issue perfectly
captures the pre-9/11, pre-ICS view of Amateur Radio in emergencies. In the
post-9/11 era, our role has evolved to the point where we are seen more as
trained communications experts who can be embedded in and expect to have
defined leadership roles. We are now more involved with emergency
communications planning, and are expected to make decisions within our scope of
practice. Our government partners treat us more as advisors and peers; we are
careful to take their direction and coaching. We now have advanced
skills, more quality and quantity of volunteers and more capable, resilient
communications infrastructure to offer (such as emerging high speed data radio
networks). -- Erik Westgard, NY9D, St. Paul, Minnesota


South Carolina Flooding: Notes from the Section Manager

[I recently asked ARRL South Carolina Section Manager Marc Tarplee, N4UFP, if
there was any significant response to this fall's flooding disaster there. A
storm that resulted from a cold front that passed through the eastern US,
stalling offshore and picking up moisture from Hurricane Joaquin, caused the
devastating flash flooding from rain, and rivers overflowing banks that
resulted in much destruction. Here is his reply -- ed.] ARES activity in South
Carolina during the historic flash flooding in October was minimal, but the
state's Emergency Management Division did have a group of Amateur Radio
operators activate the amateur position at the state EOC continuously during
the storm and during the immediate aftermath. Normal telecommunications
infrastructure remained almost completely intact during the entire event. The
rain came, quite literally, without weather. It rained continuously for an
entire weekend, but there was no wind, no electrical activity, no hail, and no
tornadoes. The rain was not a deluge, just steady and unrelenting. The major
flooding affected an area bounded by Myrtle Beach, Columbia, and Charleston,
roughly one-third of the state's land area. The remainder of the state did not
experience any real flooding, just unending rain.

This was certainly a once-in-a-lifetime disaster for citizens in the affected
regions, but the unusual nature of the event (continuous rain with calm
atmospheric conditions) created a situation in which our power and
telecommunications infrastructure didn't fail, and amateurs were not called
upon significantly to volunteer their services. Although we didn't get a chance
to show what we could do, I am glad that things were not worse than they were.
-- Marc Tarplee, N4UFP, ARRL South Carolina Section Manager

Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio (RaDAR) Challenge

ARRL Letter and QST Contributing Editor Rick Lindquist, WW1ME, found an
intriguing challenge contest for emergency/disaster operators, from South
Africa: the Rapid Deployment Amateur Radio (RaDAR) Challenge.
Contestant-operators try to make as many contacts as possible in 24 hours but
need to physically move their stations after every five contacts, a rule that
applies to the RaDAR moving stations category only. Other operators may take
part as a fixed RaDAR station or field station. - Thanks, WW1ME


Public Service: ARES Supports Ultra Marathon in Florida Panhandle

Northern Florida's West Panhandle District ARES supported the Cottonmouth 100
Ultra-marathon, a 100-mile endurance race that ran through parts of two
counties (Santa Rosa and Okaloosa) in a forest that encompasses almost 200,000
acres. Amateurs provided radio support at each of six aid stations and the
start/finish line.

Eight Escambia County ARES members, one Okaloosa County ARES member, and six
Santa Rosa County ARES members all worked together to pull off the operation. A
net control station conducted the race net on two frequencies -- 146.430 MHz
simplex and 147.360 MHz, the W4AAV Crestview repeater. The goal was to use
simplex as much as possible and only use the repeater for those aid stations
that could not otherwise be heard. The competitors ran on several portions of
the Florida Trail.

The race began at 6:03 AM on November 14. ARES support kicked in after the
first 50 miles had been completed by the runners. The net control station
started radio operations at noon, continuing operations until 11:00 the next
day. Tactical call signs consisting of the name of each aid station were used.
Each aid station reported each runner's number as they came through. A large
portion of the race was in darkness, so reporting was critical for safety.

Lessons Learned

More operators were needed, as were a backup net control station and message
runners at the net control site. A spreadsheet (in lieu of scratch sheets) for
each radio operator listing each runner and bib number would have improved
tracking efficiency. Antennas for each station could have been higher. Shelter
for the operators for protection from the elements (primarily cold and
dampness) needs improvement.

Overall the operation and event were successful. All operators learned the
importance of having back-up equipment. - Daisy Crepeau, KT4KW, Santa Rosa
Assistant EC; and Joe McLemore, KF4DVF, Assistant EC, Escambia County, Florida

Boston Marathon Communications Committee Seeks Skilled Amateurs for Technical
Infrastructure Assistance

Preparations are underway once more for the Boston Athletic Association's
Boston Marathon, April 18, 2016. Nearly 300 trained Amateur Radio volunteers
support the event, providing vital communications services across the entirety
of the 26 mile course. Volunteers are recruited, selected, and managed by the
BAA's Communications Committee, which is entering its second year of operation.
"A major initiative of the Committee this year is to bolster the technology we
use on Marathon Monday," said Communications Committee member Matthew Forman,
K6MCF. "To do so, we're forming a Technical Infrastructure Subcommittee (TIS)
and seeking amateurs who can offer current skills in analog and/or digital
modes (UHF/VHF), repeaters, and infrastructure. We'd like to have the TIS
consist of one technically-seasoned member from Amateur Radio clubs in
Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and the northern parts of Connecticut
and Rhode Island," said Forman.

Another Committee member, Mark Richards, K1MGY, will be assisting in
representing the TIS to clubs and other interests. "A diversity of talent, and
the involvement from and representation to this work by area clubs is vital to
creating volunteer opportunities for everyone and making sure that Amateur
Radio is a part of this extraordinary event for years to come," he said.
Richards will be contacting clubs and soliciting their assistance. He can be
reached directly at k1mgy@hamradioboston.org.

K1CE For a Final

My New Year's resolution is to operate off the grid for the entire year of
2016. I recently acquired a 15 watt solar panel for charging my 31 amp/hour SLA
gel cell battery, and that's all I will use for powering my Icom IC-7000 and
IC-2200H radios from home for the year. My 2016 operating agenda includes the
ARRL National Parks On The Air program, which celebrates the National Parks'
Centennial. I hope to work readers! (In a way, the Amateur Radio service is
like a National Park, or indeed, an international park -- think about it!)

What's your New Year's Amateur Radio resolution? Send it to me at k1ce@arrl.net
and I'll publish the best ones! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from your
