<div dir="ltr">Hi Peter -<div><br></div><div>Not sure if the group is interested, but I would be willing to help facilitate / advocate for placement of operators at some of the fire facilities. One thing I noticed when I look at alternative emergency plans is the interoperability between hams and first responders. I know Greg is working on this but having written approved plans for at least a few locations with Humboldt Bay Fire system would be doable through our cert program. Last I checked, our communication center located at EPD doesn't have amateur radios. That may have changed with the upgrades but I haven't heard anything different.</div><div><br></div><div>The Chief is very supportive of our program and would probably be happy to work with the group. Our cert program was recently given one of the HBF BC incident command vehicles which is fully equipped for VHF and UHF emergency communications (minus amateur radios for now) and a large batch of VHF digital handhelds. I would imagine much of that would be beneficial in the hands of qualified/authorized operators.</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to reach out to me or Don Campbell if you want to pursue this further. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Gene</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 17, 2020 at 8:04 PM Peter Esko via Harc <<a href="mailto:harc@humboldt-arc.org">harc@humboldt-arc.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Here is the interim plan approved after the PSPS last year.<div><br></div><div>Peter W6IES</div></div>
