#fieldday2025 Where your neighbors who are #HamRadio operators compete with fellow #AmateurRadio operators to try to make as many contacts in 24-hours.
This hones their skills to serve their community during emergencies, when communication may be limited.
Thank you @SSFCERT!
CERT members gathering tonight to train on being aware of your surroundings, safety, and how to effectively help your family & neighbors during disasters.

Hey #BayArea ~
Time for some rain … & it may dump quite a bit in certain areas.
What can you do to be better prepared?
> Run errands early this week.
> Clear gutters & street drains
> Stack sandbags to divert running water toward the street.
