I APPLAUD your efforts during that storm! Your last statement hit home, that
if people don't practice they won't be prepared!
Our problem is that we train and train and train, but are NEVER called upon

discussed. It depends upon what interests the posters who are willing to
share that information. Be thankful that they do. Many of these
discussions are vital to amateur radio. The decisions to come will

In Katrina and Rita shelters were opened where there were people in need.
Whether supplies could readily reach them was a problem to be solved, not a
requirement for shelter location. You are not understanding the widespread
nature of these disasters. It was easier to solve the supply problem than
