But, the government ISNT supplying communications in this case. That is the whole problem. They SHOULD be. Not you. Or at least not requiring volunteers to do a job like that. Yes, its nice if they are available, but that is a big IF. I think that this is EXACTLY what the Army/Airforce Reserve and National Guard should be prepared for. Hang the price of equipment, they have to be trained anyway - train them to operate military radio equpment.
Its nice that we are available when something crops up in our neck of the woods, and can go in and sit at a hospital, police station, etc. But I think its getting carried away expecting that much help for volunteers, who themselves may be directly affected by whatever the emergency is. Our families are important, and they SHOULD be first. Then and only then, am I available for emergency service elsewhere.
