Hams commended on their aid at Stennis

A Stennis Space Center facility is serving as the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) for Hancock County, MS; the original EOC was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

Amateur Radio operator Randy Pierce, AG4UU, from
Tallahassee, Florida, is stationed at Stennis, and reports that Amateur Radio operators are serving as communicators for all the services at the EOC, including the fire department and the emergency medical system. Four radio operators are still needed each day.

The Amateur Radio operators' technical capabilities have been employed, and the hams were complimented by the Hancock County Sheriff's Office and County Commissioners.
