IMPORTANT: The following information is provided to our local amateur radio community as a source of real-time information concerning any formal deployment of ARES emergency ham radio operators by the Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management (MCDEM). It will be your best source of unfiltered communications between Incident Command and deployed EmComm volunteers. If you are not part of the afore mentioned responding infrastructure, DO NOT ENGAGE. Just listen and be informed.

When MCDEM needs ham radio operators, it will call out to the local amateur radio community via ARES registered volunteers. An information/resource net will be started on the ARA Metrolink repeater system, and in particular, the Shaw Butte Repeater.

147.240 Mhz Receive, 147.840 Transmit, Encode 162.2 Hz

Via Internet Streaming Audio:

Shaw Butte Repeater will be reserved for the resource net and is considered "Primary".

About the Net:

The resource/information net is a way to collect ham resources and disseminate information. Dispatching of resources will be done on another net, which will be announced on the resource/information net.

By monitoring the Shaw Butte Repeater during an event, you will keep up to date as any incident develops and will learn of any other frequencies to monitor.

I must stress again, if you are not part of the volunteer call out by MCDEM, DO NOT operate on the frequency. Just listen and be informed.

(If you would like more information regarding the Metrolink Repeater System, send to me a private email. N2QOJ (email address at QRZ dot Com)

As a licensed ham radio operator that can be available during an emergency, observe the following:

• Have your HT ready with CHARGED batteries
