Inspiration for this website comes from a man who has dedicated much of his time to amateur radio emergency communications -- O.D. Williams (N7OZH).
O.D. is a master in the art of teaching others how to communicate in a disaster, things you should consider before you commit, items your grab-and-go kit should have, where the latest and greatest deals are to purchase supplies, batteries, antennas, and the list goes on!!! O.D. presents information so clearly and in such a way that all who listen come away with a desire to improve and sharpen their skills. O.D. is a wealth of information and we are greatful for his service in helping others prepare and practice emergency communication skills.
O.D. provides training on several nets in SLC -- the MARA Net, the ERC Net, the SLC Foothill Net and other nets when he is requested.
O.D. maintains a blog at the following link and all are invited and recommended to visit and learn:

Thank you O.D. for your inspiration and support!!

New Zealand Earthquake info
A good source for general information, stories/video, and more on the 6.3 magnitude New Zealand earthquake is the New Zealand Herald. Follow the link below:

I found interesting this article that shows what residents "need to know" -- areas that have been set up as temporary medical, water, power, etc as a reference:

Our hearts and prayers go out to all that have been affected by this disaster.
