Next month there will be a “Zom­bie attack, what would you do” event that is
part of com­mu­ni­ty dis­as­ter preparedness.

For those who don’t know, in voodoo belief a Zom­bie is a corpse brought back
to life that moves very slow­ly and is not aware of what is happening.

WICEN South Aus­tralia Sec­re­tary, Andrew Macmichael VK5FMAC says the event has
an impor­tant role and is an oppor­tu­ni­ty to dis­play and pro­vide infor­ma­tion on
Ama­teur Radio.

WICEN will con­duct an exer­cise of peo­ple that are sep­a­rat­ed, and then giv­en a lost per­son form to com­plete, which will then be car­ried by radio. The form is to describe a friend by what they are wear­ing, their eye colour, height, weight and oth­er features.

An expect­ed 200 peo­ple are to attend the ‘Zom­bie attack — what would you do’
event on Sep­tem­ber 4, with WICEN South Australia.
