RECOVERY
Shelter Operations
Amateur Radio operators provide backup for overloaded Red Cross communications systems, staffing Red Cross Shelters, various Red Cross units, and the office of Emergency Management, the Salvation Army and others involved in the aftermath of tragedy. In times of disaster, the nation's ham radio operators are often the first to volunteer their communications expertise. Today, there are nearly 700,000 Amateur Radio operators in the United States and more than 2.5 million worldwide.
Shelters are a temporary place of protection where disaster victims can find assistance and supplies. Shelters may operate during an event, Response, such as stranded motorists during a snow storm, or after an event, Recovery, such as individuals and families displaced by a tornado.
In shelters, children may need to be entertained, but adults are worried about what happens next. Repeaters and auto patches allow Welfare communication to inform, advise and reassure friends, families and relatives.
Hams at shelters provide communication support and backup, handle outgoing health-and welfare traffic, and reassure shelter residents that they are not totally out of touch with the outside world. Hams working in the shelters should maintain a high profile.
Health and Welfare
In the event of a natural or man-made disaster, radio amateurs, including ARRL-certified volunteers will work with community organizations to relay vital information in a structured and accurate manner. They are skilled at composing and relaying messages by voice and through computer based Amateur Radio communications modes. ARS volunteers will join local ARES nets and will support emergency activities ranging from equipment logistics, victim location and identification, emergency shelter, food and water information, medical equipment and material distribution, and, sometimes, life-and-death communication.
Emergency | Priority | Break

Break -- The normal, polite request for an opportunity to interrupt an ongoing contact is the lowest priority of interruption. Break is also often recognized during an Open Net and may be granted during an Informal Directed Net. The NCS can break back with a higher priority should events warrant a change in net status.

NCS or an operator on any contact will always STOP everything and answer the following interruption priority calls immediately.



Priority -- The second highest level of interruption, Priority, means the traffic concerns an immediate safety issue regarding human life or injury, or impending property damage.
Emergency -- The highest level of priority, Emergency, is reserved for only danger-of-death or serious-injury-if-message-is-not-heard-immediately messages

Emergency calls can interrupt Priority, Break, Welfare or normal traffic. Priority calls can interrupt Break, Welfare, or normal traffic, but not Emergency. Break should never be used during a Formal Directed Emergency Net. During nets, rely on NCS to dispatch assistance. If you have EMERGNCY traffic, use the proword BREAK, BREAK, BREAK. Upon hearing BREAK repeated three times, all stations will prepare to copy the traffic and lend assistance.
Emergency messages within the disaster area often have life-death urgency. Much of the local traffic will be on VHF/UHF. Emergency, Priority and Welfare traffic flowing outside the disaster area may be best handled on HF using the NTS. Incoming Health and Welfare traffic should be handled only after all Emergency and Priority traffic is cleared because it can easily overload an already busy system.
Property Damage Surveys / Assessments
Damage caused by natural disasters can be sudden and extensive. Responsible officials in and near the event may need communications assistance. Such reports and data are used to initiate and coordinate disaster relief and recovery.
Red Cross damage assessment teams survey an area to calculate initial impact estimates. EMA may request surveys to ascertain the amount of outside assistance needed in an area. Using a ride-along ham provides instantaneous contact with the Chapter or EOC.
