INTRODUCTION
In any emergency, the SCC volunteer first responder groups automatically self-activate in accordance
with emergency plans previously
coordinated with the County EOC.
Each of these groups has their own communications ability - however - they may not have the needed
radio equipment to permit
inter-group communications (e.g.; from Patrol to EMS) or have the ability to
contact the EOC.
This is where the SCC/KP amateur radio clubs fit in. The prime function of the SCC/KP amateur radio
clubs is to provide communication
support for these groups in the anticipated or actual absence of any
phone communications. SCC/KP amateurs will be assigned to augment
these groups with operators and equipment
as may be needed to assist them to achieve their goals.
Kings Point ARC [W4KPR] will monitor HF traffic between EOC and SERT-Tallahassee and stand by as backup
HF station for the County.
KP ARC will also serve as backup VHF station (if needed) to KE4ZIP
