Recent­ly we had sev­er­al earth­quakes and storms. Thank you for your prompt reports. What has emerged is that being request­ed are needs for a lit­tle more information. 

The ques­tions being asked include who is involved (names, call­signs and loca­tion), if they are help­ing any NGOs or local author­i­ty, and the types of emcomm mes­sages being han­dled. Any oth­er details are most welcome.

Don’t delay on send­ing what you have on hand, but please stay aware of the types of infor­ma­tion that can help. Pho­tos always help tell the sto­ry and may be use­ful to record the event.
