Don't go to the disaster area unless you check first

If you get an e-mail or read an announcement from an unfamiliar ham radio group that urges you to head toward the disaster area with AMTOR gear, please ignore it.

This is not an official request coming from any agency
directly associated with the relief efforts.

All official requests for ham radio aid being issued by the various relief agencies are being funneled through the American Radio Relay League and no place else.

If you have any questions about the authenticity of any
Amateur Radio aid request please check the postings at www.arrl.org. That's where you will find the latest and most accurate listing of this emergency's ongoing communications needs.
