Anaheim Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES)

Did you feel the 3.5 this morning?? Do you have a emergency kit? How about extra batteries? Do you have a hard copy of your local repeaters list?

Is your preparedness kit ready?? How about your family plan? Visit Anaheim.net/prepare for preparedness forms.

With the cold weather, no matter where you live PLEASE check on your neighbors who maybe at risk. Some great work by Amador County Sheriff's Office. Make sure your radios are charged, and you have extra batteries. How about a family plan, where are you going to go, what are you going to take..

Are you ready? US National Weather Service San Diego California advises heavy periods of rain will start around 0400 Thursday morning. NWS has issued a Flash Flood Watch starting at 0400 to 2200 Thursday. Remember, turn around don’t drown! Make sure your radios are charged and ready to go! Have you checked on your emergency plans and kit lately? Also remember if you see downed power lines, stay away, call 9-1-1... Be safe everyone, be ready!

What do you do when the phones go down? How about cell service? Well, how about 9-1-1 cell service from a specific provider, across several states? As we become more, and more reliant on our smart technology, it has some limitations. Has your amateur radio group talked about this? Have you practiced a drill on 9-1-1 outages? Share with us your experiences in the comments.. https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com//3633869-over-a-dozen-s/

It maybe a holiday week, and the emergency management division maybe closed. But disasters don’t take a day off. The RACES radio room at the Anaheim EOC is ready to come alive with the flip of the light switch. Thank you to all of our RACES members, and our radio room Captain, and committee for making sure it’s ready to go!!!!
