The
Mississippi Emergency Net will activate at 12:00 Noon CDST on Tuesday,
August 28. This is a joint operation between the Magnolia Section Net
and the Mississippi Section Phone Net. Daily operation will begin at 6:00
am and continue until 10:00 pm or later if activity warrants. The
frequencies will be 7238 (day) and 3.862 (night). The shift between
bands will be at the discretion of the Net Manager and/or NCS. This net
will primarily handle Health-and-Welfare traffic and other issues
related to Isaac. A moratorium on inbound H/W traffic may be declared
if it is obviously impossible to deliver the traffic due to storm
damage.
The
Delta Division ARES EMCOMM Net will activate at 12:00 Noon on Tuesday,
August 28, on a 24 Hour basis. The frequencies will be 7.275 (day) and
3.890 (night). The shift between bands will be

frequency beginning at 1:00 pm CDST.
There
may be periods on these Nets when there are relatively long period of
silence. Please help to keep the Net frequency clear. If you wish to
rag chew, please make arrangements and move off frequency. If a net
frequency is in use by others tune either side to find the Hurricane Net
operation.
MEMA
/ RACES - If you are an active member of RACES and have a non-expired
MEMA ID and can volunteer to man the radios at MEMA for a couple of
hours please contact Jim Rapp WS7EOC

Hancock County EOC
Ham Station Operators are needed at the Hancock County EOC in response to Isaac. If you can help please contact Tom Kelly, AB6Z.
Isaac
is expected to be a category 1 hurricane (not over 95 miles per hour)
at its fastest. So folks up here in central Mississippi don't need to
panic, but it is important to be prepared in central Mississippi for
strong winds, heavy rains, flooding, mesocyclones and possible tornados.
And the resulting loss of electricity and water for several days to a
week and runs on gas stations and grocery stores.
