2010 National Hurricane Conference

I am proud to announce that the ARRL Southeastern Division will host the 2010 National Hurricane Conference, March 29 - April 2 at the Orlando Hilton Orlando, FL. This is the nation's forum for education and professional training in hurricane preparedness!

The primary goal of the National Hurricane Conference is to improve hurricane preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation in order to save lives and property in the United States and the tropical islands of the Caribbean and Pacific. In addition, the conference serves as a national forum for federal, state and local officials to exchange ideas and recommend new policies to improve Emergency Management.

On Tuesday March 30th, from 1:30 to 5:00pm all hams are invited at no cost to attend the Amateur Radio, Disaster Communications Before, During and After Hurricanes session in room Orange C.

On Wednesday March 31st, from 8:30 to 10:00am there will be an amateur radio session designed for Emergency Managers, called "Amateur Radio: The Emergency Manager's Hidden Resource".

Please send this information to all emergency communications groups, clubs and every ham that might be interested. This conference will help Amateur Radio be successful in hurricane preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation!
