Hurricane Wilma volunteer/agency signup databases open

October 24, 2005 -- Databases now are open for prospective Amateur Radio volunteers to register and for relief agencies to request Amateur Radio volunteers in the wake of Hurricane Wilma. The Hurricane Wilma Disaster Communications Volunteer Registration Database now is open, thanks to site administrator Joe Tomasone, AB2M. ARRL Northern Florida Section Emergency Coordinator Joe Bushel, W2DWR, is coordinating Amateur Radio volunteers for this event. The site is intended for Amateur Radio volunteers to sign up for communication support duty on behalf of Hurricane Wilma relief and recovery efforts in Florida, both immediate and in the near future. Relief organizations needing Amateur Radio volunteers may register their needs on the Hurricane Wilma Amateur Radio Volunteers Needed Clearing House. This is the ARRL's volunteer coordination Web site. Relief/served agencies are invited to post their communications requirements on this site. Amateur Radio operators also may use the site's search function to locate listings of agencies that need Amateur Radio volunteers. Volunteers should not self deploy but wait until they are contacted and assigned a tracking number. The leadership in all three Florida ARRL sections has been evaluating volunteer resource requests and needs.
