Australian hams prepare for disasters

With the weather bringing disasters to many parts of the Asia/Oceania Regions, we should reflect on the importance of our hobby in a greater scheme.

Going by news reports, there is severe flooding in southern India and the Phillipines, earth quake damage in Sumatra and tsunami devestation in Samoa and Tonga with such immense human costs.

According to Jim Linton, VK3PC, on the WIA web site, local radio amateurs are definitely involved in support roles in Indonesia and the Phillipines.

It is to meet the demands of such crises that the Global Amateur Radio Emergency Conferences have been convened. These annual meetings have drawn on the previous S.E. Asian tsunami and the Chinese earthquakes and the outcomes are being reviewed through at least two United Nations Agencies.

The Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA) has a committee developing a basic training course for emergency communications which will provide a consistent level of skills to those completing the course satisfactorily.

What this means is that as all grades of licence in Australia have access to HF frequencies and even with poor sun spot numbers, some of the countries affected by natural disaster are closer to northern VK-land than our major cities are to each other, we radio amateurs can assist in message handling and support.

The reality is that our hobby is international in reach.
Can we touch another, in time of need?

Ham radio supports disasters

Date : 01 / 10 / 2009
Author : Jim Linton - VK3PC

A severe tropical storm in The Phillipines and earthquakes in Indonesia have seen radio amateurs providing emergency communications and other relief and recovery assistance.

Philippines Amateur Radio Association (PARA) President, Dr Joey Panganiban DU1BP (pictured right) reports that a tropical storm named "Ondoy" hit the Philippines five days ago creating a tragic calamity with hams swinging into action to help. Joey DU1BP said, "We have mobilized our amateur radio clubs for the relief operations. The frequencies of 7.045 MHz have been used for general announcements while 2-metres FM is for our community operations."

The disaster has affected more than two million people and the death toll is officially at least 1,100. Joey DU1BP said, "All amateur and civic radio clubs are now on operation in Metro Manila under the guidance of the National Telecommunications Commission and PARA." He said the PARA Secretariat has been designated to receive donations and soliciting donations both in kind and cash for the victims. Joe DU1BP said, "What the evacuees need is food that are ready to eat (those without much preparation) such as canned goods, noodles, rice, bread, coffee, milk, sugar, salt and water." "They also need medical attention and medications needed for cough, colds, fever, diarrhea and vitamins. These items will be repacked and given direct to the recipients, using community officials as contact points."

Meantime a powerful earthquake rocked western Indonesia on Wednesday, trapping thousands under collapsed buildings and triggering landslides. At least 75 people were killed on Sumatra island after the 7.6 on the Richter scale earthquake strike. In a brief message just hours after that disaster from the Organisasi Amatir Radio Indonesia (ORARI), received by IARU Region 3 Disaster Communications Committee Chairman, Jim Linton VK3PC, it has been confirmed that hams are involved there too. Wisnu Widjaja W1SNU/YB0AZ reports "We are active on the field now to support the emergency Communications in West & South Sumatera, Indonesia. Now, we are using 2-meters and 40-meter band."

More information can be expected in coming days. However no reports so far of amateur radio emergency communications in the Pacific as a tsunami hit Samoa leaving trail of death and destruction.

Heboh SMS ribut kuat landa Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR - Jabatan Meteorologi semalam menafikan mesej khidmat pesanan ringkas (SMS) yang tersebar luas menyatakan satu ribut kuat akan melanda Malaysia malam tadi ekoran ramalan cuaca mengenai Taufan Parma akan melanda Filipina lewat malam tadi.

Pegawai bertugas Jabatan Meteorologi ketika dihubungi berkata, SMS itu yang mendakwa taufan berkelajuan 222 km/j akan melanda adalah satu khabar angin dan menasihati orang ramai supaya tidak panik.

SMS itu turut meminta orang ramai mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga dan tidak berada di jalanan.

Taufan Parma melanda Luzon pada Sabtu mengakibat tanah runtuh dan banjir serta mengorbankan 16 orang. Taufan, yang kini dikategorikan ribut tropika dengan kelajuan 55 knot, kini bertiup di perairan barat Luzon.

Katanya, ribut tropika itu diramalkan bergerak ke arah barat menghala pulau Hainan dalam beberapa hari ini.

"Kelajuan ribut tropika Parma ini akan membentuk gelombang kuat di Laut China Selatan tetapi tiada petunjuk ia akan melanda negara ini," katanya.

Jabatan Meteorologi semalam mengeluarkan amaran kategori pertama mengenai angin kuat dan laut bergelora dengan angin barat daya berkelajuan 40-50 km/j dan ombak setinggi 3.5 meter di perairan Phuket dan Samui di Thailand, Perlis, Kedah, Pulau Pinang, Kelantan, Terengganu, Reef North, Layang-layang, Labuan dan Sabah yang akan berterusan sehingga Jumaat. - Bernama

Radio club takes part in emergency drill

STAFF REPORT

DANVILLE — Local radio operators will participate for the first time in an emergency test situation this weekend.

Members of the Vermilion County Amateur Radio Association will take part today in the annual Simulated Emergency Test put together by the American Radio Relay League, the national association for amateur radio.

The local radio association will be set up at their headquarters on Woodbury Hill Road, the Vermilion County Emergency Management Agency along Georgetown Road and at Provena United Samari-tans Medical Center.

The test is an annual exercise in emergency communications. The local amateur radio group will use emergency power at each location and provide communications for the event for agencies such as EMA and the American Red Cross, as well as the hospital.

The scenario this year centers on a large earthquake at 7 a.m. today near Murphysborough in southern Illinois. The event gives communicators the opportunity to focus on the emergency-communications capability in the community.
