[HamWAN PSDR] HamWAN demo, Feb. 6-7, 2019

[Carl]

Can Nigel or Bart or another on the core HamWAN team comment on the status of the WA EMD setup? I believe the site has been evaluated, and some (all) equipment has been purchased, but nothing is installed and they are not yet on HamWAN.  This event in February seems to be a strong motivator to get that project moving.  Perhaps there is someone on this list that is adequately connected at Camp Murray to poke whomever needs to be poked to get this moving?

 

I see this February meeting and demo as an outstanding opportunity to expand the presence and use of HamWAN between emergency management functions. I know that Snohomish County and Seattle EOC are both on it, and both have VOIP phones on a HamWAN based PBX (totally independent of external internet). That capability absolutely needs to grow.

 

While demonstrating other amateur radio capabilities, such as APRS, is always something we should look for opportunities to do, we should also be careful not to dilute the potential to strongly promote HamWAN at the February meeting, given the already expressed interest in it.

A combined WA EMD WECCWG (https://www.mil.wa.gov/weccwg) & FEMA RECCWG 
meeting will be held in Vancouver, WA, this coming February.  The WECCWG 
part of the two-day meeting will focus on both volcanoes and amateur 
radio.  The organizers are very interested in a HamWAN demo, and this 
will be a fairly high profile ESF #2 audience.  Larch Mountain is 
line-of-sight from the Vancouver Readiness Center venue.

Two demonstration possibilities come to mind, a live video feed (perhaps 
with Camp Murray) plus sharing a desktop to show dragging and dropping 
an ICS-213 form between agencies.  Does anyone have any other ideas for 
things to demonstrate which would emphasize emergency communications 
capability via HamWAN?

Would anyone like to help?  Obviously, we will want to practice this in 
advance.
