Hurricane Wilma ARES/RACES Southern Florida activation praised

November 8, 2005 -- ARRL Southern Florida Section Emergency Coordinator Jeff Beals, WA4AW, reports that all Amateur Radio support in the Southern Florida Section in response to Hurricane Wilma secured Monday, October 31. All out-of-area operator assistance was released the next day. "Some shelters and feeding stations were still in operation through the week, and many affected areas are still without power and telephone service," he told ARRL November 4. Beals said officials at the Broward and Palm Beach county emergency operating centers (EOCs) reported that Amateur Radio assistance was invaluable in conducting their tactical operations. In addition to volunteering to supplement communication at the EOCs, ham radio volunteers also assisted at American Red Cross shelters for hurricane evacuees and at staging areas.
