Oct. 6-7 Emergency Preparedness Simuated Emergency Test
The 2018 ARRL Simulated Emergency Test (SET) national emergency exercise is designed to assess the skills and preparedness of Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®) volunteers, as well as those affiliated with other orgs. involved with emergency and disaster response. Although the main SET weekend this year is October 6 – 7, local and Section-wide exercises may take place throughout the fall. Those who already take part in public service and emergency activities are getting ready for the annual SET, a dress rehearsal, next month. But, the 2018 ARRL SET is an open casting call for all radio amateurs interested in expanding their emergency preparedness knowledge and skill. http://www.arrl.org/news/emergency-preparedness-takes-center-stage-for-2018-simulated-emergency-test
