Amateur Radio operators who want to assist those Sections affected by Hurricane Sandy should not self-deploy to those areas. “There are many ARRL Sections involved in the impact area, and each has different requirements on how they locate, credential and deploy volunteers,” explained ARRL Emergency Preparedness Manager Mike Corey, KI1U. “If a need for manpower is identified that cannot be met locally or in the Section, Section leadership may contact other Sections for assistance. If the need is still not met, Section leadership may then contact ARRL HQ for assistance.”
