Ken K7KBJ:
Post your ideas for discussion right here for consideration on future nets.

TWP:
Re Communications, we as a group have not discussed how we could establish and maintain a comm network.

Yes, those who are already HAM's are already working that network, but many of us are not part of the network.

So, how can we (should we?) set up a plan for communication within the group?

I want to start the discussion by directing your attention to this article on SurvivalBlog.com

http://survivalblog.com/developing-a-communications-plan-for-your-group-by-n-m/

While this article is heavy on HAM, it also addresses cell-phone trees and plans for when the comm network
should become active (what events would be "trigger" events...).

This would also make a good topic for our monthly meetings.

I was sure I sent a list by e-mail, but I cannot find a record of it.

So here is another list I did when we were looking for presentation topics. Some might be suitable for roundtable discussion. I will think on it some more when I have more time and see what else I can come up with.

Some are perhaps too far fetched for this group, or too controversial.

1.   Dealing with flooding from extreme rain/Truckee dam failure
2.   Dealing with a continued drought & dust storms
3.   Dealing with household insect infestations
4.   Dealing with crop insect infestations and plagues
5.   Extraterrestrial events other than asteroids and CMEs (Increased/decreased solar radiation, Gamma ray burst, meteorite swarm of dangerous size/number, etc.)
6.   Food crop failures due to funguses (Rice blast/Soybean rust/Wheat stem rust/Corn smut/Potato late blight) or other major crop diseases/failures
7.   Ring Of Fire eruptions and ash fall
8.   Dealing with fuel shortages and travel restrictions
9.   Dealing with local infrastructure failures due to a local fire or other local event
10.   Dealing with drastic weather changes, either way
11.   Dealing with a severe heat wave without electric power
12.   Dealing with riots and local major crime/crime waves
13.   Dealing with allergies and similar afflictions
14.   Dealing with an ordered and ‘orderly’ California evacuation over I-80
15.   Doing guerrilla gardening
16.   Our individual and group actions in case of tornadoes in the area
17.   Options to wood stoves and wood fires if outlawed
18.   Prepper finances in light of banking system failures, economic shutdown, etc.
19.   Handling fear and panic in yourself and others in high stress situations
20.   Evacuation routes and destinations from various parts of the city and surrounding areas
21.   Cache types, sites, placement, and recovery
22.   Trauma Kits vs First-aid kits vs Band-aid & Neosporin kits

Just my opinion.

We have not done well addressing this issue.
I propose we create a committee to work out the details and then present them to the group.
There are some simple ways to take care of business and get the instructions to everyone.
For those of us who are licensed to transmit on 40 meters, I would love to get all of us on NVIS antennas, tested and verified so we can have local communication ability to fill in gaps.
So much to discuss and set up.
This is a task worth tackling.

TWP:
Ken, I would like to be part of that committee.
