Onondaga County Emergency Communications meeting 4/26

(from the April LARC Long Wire Newsletter)


The next meeting of Onondaga County Radio Emergency Corp, RACES and ARES will be on Tuesday April 26, 2016 at the Liverpool Fire Department Station #1 (RT 57, Oswego Rd). Doors will open by 5:30...meeting to begin at 6 PM. Please park out back by the meeting room.


This is open to any amateur operator with an interest in auxiliary communications. You do not need to be a member.



As we approach what is forecast to be an active storm season, we will review some procedures, discuss notification and deployment options and attempt to bundle some of our past trainings into a discussion. It is requested that you bring your paperwork toolbox. We have distributed several forms and booklets in past trainings. Let's see how everyone has chosen to ready them for an emergency. This may be as simple as a binder or as elaborate as a flash card for your cell phone. Don't be shy...the choice is personal but we can all learn from what others have elected to do. This will also be a great opportunity to obtain any materials you might be missing. We will continue our work with FlDigi/NBEMS and have a quick primer on other systems in use in our region.

Please e-mail onondagaraces@earthlink.net with
any questions.

We hope to see you all on April 26th at 6 PM.

  1. I wish I could have had the chance of attending that meeting. My main concern is emergency communication during a disaster or wilderness survival. I am certain I could have met knowledgeable people who are experienced with emergency radios. I did find some useful information on emergency radios from the following website: http://wildernessmastery.com/survival/the-best-emergency-radio.html

  2. No one wants to think of an accident happening at home as it is a sanctuary for the family. Nevertheless, we cannot always protect our family from every misfortune and accidents do happen. It is therefore important to plan ahead with home insurance to cover the costs when those accidents occur.
