The ARRL will sponsor a 2016 Atlantic Season Hurricane Webinar on Thursday,
July 21, at 8 PM ET (0000 UTC on Friday, July 22, UTC). The approximately
90-minute session will address the role of Amateur Radio during the 2015
Hurricane Season. Anyone interested in hurricane preparedness and response is
invited to attend[1] this online presentation.
Topics will include a meteorological overview of the upcoming season; Amateur
Radio station WX4NHC[2] at the National Hurricane Center: Who We Are and What
We Do; ARRL Media and Public Relations; the Hurricane Watch Net (HWN[3]); the
VoIP Hurricane Net[4], and ARRL coordination and interface.
The program will include presentations by representatives of the National
Hurricane Center and WX4NHC, the VoIP Hurricane Net, the HWN, the Canadian
Hurricane Centre[5], and the ARRL[6]. Webinar registration is open to all, but
should be of particular interest to radio amateurs in hurricane-prone areas.
The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session.
