EMERGENCY RADIO POLICY
REGARDING USE
OF NON HAMS DURING EMERGENCY
SITUATIONS WHEN
THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT EROC TEAM HAM OPERATORS AVAILABLE
TO CONDUCT EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION OPERATIONS.
HERE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SER POLICY
AND FCC RULES, NON
HAMS MAY USE THE 760 HAM REPEATER AND 505 SIMPLEX
HAM FREQUENCY FOR EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
ONLY. GO HERE
FOR POLICY. [POLICY WILL BE UPDATED FOR EROC
TEAMS].
FOR EXAMPLE: In the event of an
emergency alert (OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES) through Alert
FM, those who have such devices should relay the
information out on EROC 9 AND ON HAM CH 58
AND HAM CH 55 so as many people as possible become
aware of the emergency alerts. Be sure to quote
the Emergency Alert exactly and do NOT give your
opinions. Testing of the ALERT FM in May,
2023, showed that many residents do NOT have the ALERT
FM system.

GMRS
License. GMRS shares FRS frequencies. If you have a
GMRS license, and use high power (e.g., 50 watts) on a "
GMRS ' frequency, you may jeopardize a neighborhood
emergency net which was allocated that frequency. Purpose
of the SER plan is to allow individual neighborhoods to operate
emergency nets without interference from other neighborhoods
operating at the exact same time during an emergency. The
frequency coordination between all neighborhoods is critical and
cooperation is essential. Under the SER Plan, Higher power operations
(e.g., 10 watts, 30 watts, 50 watts, etc... ) is more appropriate on SER Ham
Frequencies [used to coordinate all neighborhoods through Area
Coordinators (Hams)]. Please consider obtaining your Ham
license.

. ALERT:
As of July, 2021, most existing hams are not
involved with Shingletown wildfire emergency
communications. We need more Hams that have an
interest in helping all of Shingletown as we are
confronted by the HIGH LEVEL OF DANGER WHICH WE ALL FACE
AT THIS VERY MOMENT. WE NEED NEW HAMS.
Testing of propagation is critical to determine stations
that can act as Fire Controls and Relays on Simplex 505
in the event the 760 repeater is not available (e.g.,
burned off the mountain, mechanical failure, etc...). At
this time there are only 4 Hams that are helping in our
weekly practice drills. If HAMS are not available during
an emergency, then non hams MUST be prepared to step up
to the plate and help out (following the SER Plan)!
There are Areas / Neighborhoods presently stranded
without non-ham inter-area communications due to lack of
Ham operators. View some of the fire burning at present.
The Salt fire - 12,650 acres; Lava Fire - 26,162
acres; Tennant Fire - 10,580 acres; Beckwourth Complex -
86,076 acres. Imagine the impact of such fires if
they hit Shingletown - most, if not all, of Shingletown
would be gone!
July
2021 comment: If there are emergency communications in
process on a Ham frequency, please use common
sense, and do not interfere and obstruct by talking
about FCC rules (e.g., requirement of Station ID, Non
Hams using Frequency, etc...). The Actual
FCC rules have been addressed by the SER Plan. A
Ham operator recently interfered with an actual
emergency communication and proceeded to talk over a 911
relay request, while the Ham injected his erroneous and
false statement of the FCC "rule".
The Ham apparently didn't even know what the actual rule
was. The actual FCC rules were in fact being
complied with. The blocking of a 911 relay request
during an emergency situation is not responsible.
We can all work together in these matters.
