Hurricane Florence Response
As this is written, September 16, storm Florence continues to dump historic amounts of rain, leaving much of the Carolinas inundated with dangerous, overwhelming flooding. The flooding has extended into portions of Virginia and West Virginia. The ARRL News Desk’s Rick Lindquist, WW1ME, posted comprehensive reports on the advancement and landfall phases of Hurricane Florence and the responses of the various Amateur Radio nets and organizations. North and South Carolina’s emergency management agencies, and FEMA, are reporting that they remain in the response phase of the disaster. ARRL HQ provided support to the ARRL Field Organization and ARES in the form of Ham Aid shipments and other support. ARRL shipped seven kits to South Carolina by way of Georgia on September 11 to assist with emergency preparedness needs in advance of Hurricane Florence. These kits are the same ones that ARRL volunteers took to Puerto Rico a year ago to assist with disaster communications following Hurricane Maria. Links to Florence information, reports and stories follow:
