What Do I Do First?
| An emergency situation or a disaster has occurred. Adrenaline is flowing, fear is everywhere,
and is difficult to think. There is no commercial power, and the computer will not operate. This is the time when
emergency radio operators are most needed, and also the time when people will revert to their level of training
and preparation. Here is what to do first: -1- Get yourself out of immediate danger; be absolutely certain that your family is safe. -2- Make sure that your house and property are safe, and secure. -3- Monitor your locally assigned HF, VHF, and UHF frequencies. -4- Follow the legitimate instructions that you receive. -5- Contact your Emergency Coordinator for further instruction. |
