Notes from the 1989 SF Earthquake
Editor's Note: During the late 1980's through early 2000's the CCRA worked with N6VV and the Northern California Packet Association (NCPA) to build out an extensive 1200 baud packet network in northern California. The following article was written by Lew, N6VV shortly after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.
Notes from the 1989 SF Earthquake from Lew, N6VV
As of today Thursday October 26th, things have started to return to normal
around the San Francisco Bay Area. We have learned a lot about the handling
of emergency information and Health & Welfare traffic via packet radio.
I thought I would try to get down my thoughts about the performance of
packet radio and lessons learned from the recent emergency created by the
earthquake while the impressions are still fresh in my mind.
BACKGROUND: The Northern California Packet Association is comprised of
and extensive network made up of hilltop node locations and over 30 BBS
systems spread from Redding in the far northern part of the state to
Kern County in the central part of the state.
The BBS forwarding system employs a 220 MHz and 433 MHz backbone which
utilizes 5 mountain top sites and 5 LAN Gateway BBSs. The theory is that
each of the 5 LAN BBS systems serve a number of other BBSs on their
LAN. The LANs are: NORTH BAY/ W6PW , SACRAMENTO VALLEY/WA6RDH, SANTA CRUZ/
N6IYA, EAST BAY/ N6VV, and a SOUTH BAY LAN with WB6ASR.
The LAN of which I am part of, connects into the Central Valley Backbone
which runs the length of the Great Central Valley of California from
Southern California to the Oregon Backbone. As a LAN Gateway station, I
am responsible for forwarding to the other LAN Gateway stations and to
the BBSs on my LAN, which includes : W6FGC,WO6Y,KJ6FY,WB6V,K6RAU,N6OA,
WB6ODZ,WB6MIF,N6ECP. In addition since my local node is on the Central
valley backbone I also forward North to AL7IN in Oregon and south to
K6IYK in Los Angeles.
The Central Valley 220 Backbone is one of 2 trunks to the south. The
other is down the Coast Route from WB6ASR and AA4RE.
Recognizing the need for redundancy in the network, a number of backup
routes have been created and we have had to use these many times in the
past. For example last year, during the heavy fire season, a fire on
Mt VACA took out the Sacramento Valley LAN Backbone node WA6RDH-11.
To maintain communications Dennis, WA6RDH had added a 223.54 port on his
BBS to be able to communicate directly with N6VV on the East Bay LAN
frequency and to be able to pass Inter-LAN traffic without going thru
the backbone.
In addition, when selecting 2 meter nodes, considerable planning went into
choosing frequencies to provide alternate paths in the event of the loss
of the backbone. Most of the nodes in use in this area are triple or
quad port nodes and include 2M access into the network. Strategic selection
of 2M frequencies has given us the backup which was put to good use
during the emergency. More on this later.
N6VV BBS: The N6VV BBS is a 6 port system operating on the following
frequencies:
144.99
223.54
433.41
441.50
14.109
21.097
I operate on 2 HF frequencies and provide in addition to N6IYA (14098),
N6OA (14107), KB6IRS (14107), N6EEG (10149) the HF Gateway access to
the Northern California area.
The system is a 2M IBM PC/AT with 20Meg hard drive. On normal months
I handle between 9 and 13,000 messages per month.
BBS forwarding access into our area is therefore via one of the HF Gateway
stations listed above or via the 2 southbound 220 links into Los Angeles
and the single 220/433 link north to Oregon.
TUESDAY the 17th of October -
Like everyone else around here, I spent a considerable amount of time
on that Tuesday trying to get tickets to the World Series but by 3:00
PM had decided that I was going to have to content myself with watching
the series on television that evening. At about 4:30, me and most of the
rest of the office started to migrate towards the exits in order to make
it home in time for the TV coverage of the series which was scheduled to
start at 5:00 PM local time.
Incidentally, everyone around here is convinced that the World Series
saved litteraly hundreds of lives at places like the Cypress Structure on
Highway 880 since many thousands of people around the bay, were doing
exactly what we were doing and trying to make it home before 5:00 PM to
watch the game. I have driven the 880 stretch that collapsed many times
and at 5:00 PM during the height of rush hour there would normally have
been hundreds of cars jammed into that 12 block section which collapsed.
I work in Concord only 3 miles from my home in Pleasant Hill so arrived
home about 4:45 and walked out to the shack located about 100 feet behind
my house, to "check the BBS", as is my usual habit when coming home.
I was browsing thru the messages going and coming on the system, when
suddenly shortly after 5:00 PM my chair started to bounce up and down.
At first I thought it was just one of the many little earthquakes that
any native Californian has grown accustomed to riding out with little
concern.
Suddenly the motion began to get much more violent and things began flying
around the shack. A large bookcase to my left fell over and spilled
hundreds of books and QSTs across the floor. Loud noises from stuff falling
over in my storage area behind the shack convinced me it was time to get
out of the building. I dashed for the door and stood just outside the
shack looking up at my tower. My main concern at this moment was the
tower immediately over my head. The Rohn 45 tower had a 6 element
KLM 20M beam and a 4 element KLM 40M beam at 85 feet. The Phillistrand
guy wires were alternately snapping and going slack and the beams were
jiggling wildly.
I decided it was probably prudent to try to get at least 85 feet away from
the immediate area. Dashing thru my back yard to scoop up my 8 year old
son we went to the front yard and watched the trees and telephone poles
waving wildly in the air. I live on a small knoll and have an excellent
view out across the Diablo Valley. For another 10 seconds we stood
watching the eerie sight as the whole valley jiggled and shook.
For about 30 seconds we stood there affraid to move. After checking with
the rest of the family to see that they were all safe, I ran back to
shack to see if it was OK. The power was off and sirens were already
screeming all over the area. My neighbors were all out in the streets and
some people had their car radios on listening to the first reports. The
first serious damage reports were coming in and I heard that part of the
Bay Bridge had collapsed.
My first thought was power. I got out my generator and started
setting up on the road next to my shack. My neighbors came over and helped
me with the gasoline. I started the generator and let it run for a while
to settle down. I got out my hand held and began to monitor the 2M repeater
in our area. There was a lot of conversation on the air as the hams began
to check in. This was a good sign since the repeater is co-located with
the nodes that I use for forwarding. It is at a County site which has
emergency power so I had assumed that it would be on the air.
In a few minutes I had the VHF/UHF side of the BBS going. Another ham,
WA6HAM Steve was bringing over another generator to get the HF station
going. The first step was to find out what nodes and BBSs were on the
air. I began working my way thru the network to find out who was there.
To my horror, W6PW in San Francisco did not respond. In addition the
Southbay LAN Backbone node on Crystal peak did not seem to be on. N6IYA
the Santa Cruz LAN Gateway was not there. I started to get worried but
was hopefull that it was just power that prevented them from being on
the air. The SAC Valley stations including WA6RDH were up and the
central valley guys and circuits all seemed to be OK.
Without hearing any real news reports I began to assume that the
worst areas were San Francisco and particularly the Santa Cruz and
Gilroy areas. It turned out that I was right. I began working my way
thru the Santa Cruz BBSs who I do not normally forward to because of
our LAN Gateway structure when suddenly I got a connect with N6MPW.
At least one BBS in that area was on. I started receiving messages from
the other SysOps who were doing the same thing I was. We spent the
first hour or two trying to put our network back togeather. WD6CMU from
the Northbay LAN sent around a message saying he was taking over Gateway
duties for the Northbay LAN. N6MPW took over gateway duties for the
Santa Cruz LAN. That meant 4 of the 5 LANs were covered, but we still
had no word from Roy AA4RE or Greg WB6ASR from the Southbay LAN. We
later learned that the Crystal nodes had received severe damage since
they were so close to the epicenter.
I contacted Brad WA6AEO who is the control SysOp for most of our nodes
in Contra Costa County and suggested that we put some of our emergency
plans into place. We had already set up one node in the south part of
the county on 144.93 which was WB6ASRs user port frequency frequency but
I could not raise Greg on that port. We were able to move our Berkeley
node on BALD to 144.99 which is the user port frequency of both W6PW
and AA4RE. This would provide an alternate path for Roy into the network
while his 220 access was down.
The channel selection of 2 meter nodes and the frequency agility proved
to be vital in reestablishing paths to these locations since Roy has
returned to the air and at this time is still using the the BALD 144.99
node as his access to the network.
That was the first lesson learned. HAVE SOME BACKUP PLANS for alternate
paths when backbone nodes go away !! In our case it worked and all 5
LANs were back on the air within hours of the quake.
I had started to compile a list of BBSs that were on and began to modify
my forward files to get traffic to the right general area. Thankfully
N6LDL was reachable on the 2M Norhtbay port of 144.97 and I set him up
to recieve all San Jose, Los Gatos ZIPs. CMU was taking all the NORTHBAY
LAN ZIPS. and N6MPW was taking Santa Cruz. One thing I learned during
this rework of the forward files was that I would have been better off
to have had independent files set up BY BBS instead of by LAN as it was
a painstaking process rekeying all of the ZIP information. In that way
I could have just moved my files around by BBS to reflect the crazy 2M
forwarding patterns which evolved during the emergency.
By this time the other generator had arrived and I was now up on
20 Meters on the 14109 NET. It was getting fairly late and I just had
enough time to fire off a message to Dave W9ZRX that I was on before
the band closed up. Sometime around this time K6IYK in Los Angeles
connected to me and told me that the Coast route was gone but that
the central valley 220 route had survived and to expect lots of NTS
traffic. I gave him a brief rundown on the situation and told him that
we were ready.
By now traffic was starting to flow all around the network and Health
and Welfare stuff was starting to come in from AL7IN in Oregon and
K6IYK in Los Angeles. We sent out bulletins calling for a halt to ALL
non essential bulletins on the network and I composed messages for the
HF Networks requesting the same thing.
Listening to the 2M and UHF repeaters into the Santa Cruz area it became
apparent that the voice circuits were a zoo and that if any H&W traffic
was going to make it into that area it was going to have to be on packet.
The surviving repeaters were all tied up with tactical information
and most of the net control stations did not want to hear about Health
and Welfare traffic. Actual fights broke out on some of the repeaters
over the handling of H&W traffic and I was very pleased when I started
to hear people on the repeaters tell people "PUT IT ON PACKET". We had
let them know that we had established routes into all the affected areas
and we started to see traffic coming in from the outlying areas who
seemed to be taking H&W traffic off of the 20M nets and dumping it onto
the local BBS system.
From my own experience I can tell you that phone service into the 408
area code was very spotty and some areas in the southbay were not available.
HF SSB stations taking traffic for these areas had no way to deliver the
traffic and most ended up just dumping the traffic into the local
BBS system anyway. 415 was not bad after about 12 hours and was returning
within 24 to many areas but I tried all nite to reach the Santa Cruz BBSs
by phone and could not get thru. All during this period I was forwarding
packet traffic for hours on end to N6MPW in Santa Cruz !!
By 4AM in the morning I realized that I would have to also modify my
outbound forward files and adopted the theory that I should just try
to get it out of here to anybody so made heavy modifications to my
forward files to get as much traffic to W9ZRX and W3IWI who are usually
my best connects on 20 and 15 meters.
As the sun came up and the HF bands started to come alive the traffic
began to pore in. ZRX connected to me and had a 2 hour forwarding session.
The inbound volumes were unbelievable. At some times I had W9ZRX on 20M,
W3IWI on 15M, K6IYK from So. Cal on the 220 port, AL7IN from Oregon on
the 433 port all forwarding to me at the same time. I only had 2 outbound
ports to try to handle the 4 inbound ports which never stopped. I called
for help and remote SysOps Brad WA6AEO and Dennis KA6FUB came over to
the station and for the next 48 hours the BBS here was fully manned around
the clock. We never went thru a normal forwarding cycle but had to use
force forwards to try to stay up with the imbalance in inbound/outbound
taffic. The number of messages on the board kept increasing since we could
not keep up with it. I believe that the peak came on Wednesday nite with
a total of about 800 active messages on the system. I had many hours before
deleted all my bulletins so all of these messages were NTS.
By the weekend we had handled over 5000 messages which had mostly been
forwarded on into the Santa Cruz and Bay Areas. We had recruited a core
of local hams to check in and handle the NTS destined for our area but
even that was getting out of control. I was actually outside the seriously
affected area and had power and phones back by the end of the first night,
so I could imagine that the guys like MPW and PW were really starting to
get jammed up.
I started to receive messages from several SysOps that they wanted me
to stop sending them traffic and one night got a call from
Larry WB9LOZ, SysOp at W6PW that he already had 700 NTS messages backed
up and could I just stop for a while. I explained to him that the message
flow was like a freight train and that we could not just stop at certain
points but would have to stop the whole flow. If I stopped forwarding out
to the destination BBSs, I would have thousands of messages here and
ultimately blow up. We would have to shut it off farther back stream or
just shut down the gateways.
We tried to contact KA6ETB the NCN Packet coordinator to see if we should
send out a national bulletin asking everyone to please slow down the
H&W and eventually one was originated. I knew that it would take several
days for an @USA bulletin to make it around sufficently to have any
effect so we had no alternative but to keep on forwarding.
We need to think more about this flood problem and figure out a better
solution. I am sure we will be discussing it heavily in the future but
we did the best we could in the first 3 days after the quake.
One important lesson learned here in the SF area is that packet turned
out to be the most efficient means of delivering H&W traffic and while
I have not heard the numbers from other gateway stations, I am now over
6000 pieces of traffic since the quake and I am sure the total will be
in excess of 10,000 messages handled via packet. This is quite impressive
since this is a tremendous increase in normal packet traffic and the
software, systems, network and operators were able to respond wonderfully
to this flood of traffic.
I have heard horror stories from the guys who were handling H&W on the
HF SSB Bands about jamming and poor organization. I am happy to tell you
that other than the normal RTTY Jammers on 21097 (They don't like us there)
we were able to move tremendous volumes of messages on HF Packet.
LESSON LEARNED :
1. You need to have a backup Plan. I list this one first because
we had a plan of sorts but had to make a lot of it up as we went.
2. Packet is wonderfully adapted to handling very high volumes of
Health and Welfare traffic during emergencies, but probably shouldn't
be used for tactical information handling. Voice circuits are better
and the packet channels get jammed up with H&W anyway...
3. Because of networking possibilities, packet networks can respond
better than any other form of Ham Communications to changes in
the emergency situations. We completely rerouted traffic throughout
the entire system in less than 3 hours...
4. We need a quiker way to handle network management bulletins. Maybe
we need an emergency bulletin designator that EVERYONE supports,
but is not used except under extreme emergency.
5. Every ham who uses a packet bulletin board should become familiar
with packet NTS procedures. Under circumstances like this you
have to get anyone with a TNC involved to handle the traffic. The
vast majority of traffic handled locally at N6VV was NOT handled
by our normal NTS liason people. We were recruiting people off the
2 meter repeaters to help. Fortunately we had a file called
HOWTO.NTS in the file section that these people were able to download
and read. Instant NTS handlers !! Many of the regular NTS people
were working 24 hours a day in Red Cross facilities or emergency
centers and never did check in to a BBS. Even with the thousands
of hams in this area, we did not seem to have enough to go around.
The emergency sites were recruiting hams from as far away as
Sacramento to man sites in Santa Cruz.
6. A major problem we had on this end was the missadressed or non-addressed
traffic that required manual intervention before it would flow
thru the automated forwarding system. I only had 3 hours sleep by
Friday night and the main reason was fixing this mail. Mail simply
addressed NTSCA @ NTSCA with no further information was being
received here. Each message like this required us to read them
and in some cases to have a USPS ZIP code book lookup to get them
on their way. When you are dealing with thousands of messages this
can be a tedious job. I actually received personal mail addressed
N6VV @ N6VV with a list of 25 friends they wanted me to contact.
These BOOK type messages simply DO NOT WORK in the packet environment
and require far too much manual intervention at the disaster site.
All NTS traffic here and I thought elsewhere was ZIP code routed.
personal mail is routed by BBS and ZIP code does not work for it
but the NTS ZIP delivery system is well established and each NCPA
BBS is provided with a complete list of zip codes for all of
northern California and where they are supposed to be delivered.
Messages received without ZIP code, die until manual intervention.
These are just some of the lessons which we have learned. I am sure many
more will be thought of in our afteraction meetings.
In summary I think that the San Francisco Earthquake was the first great
test for this new technology which we call packet and although I'm sure
we will be able to find some faults, in general packet performed wondefully
under what at times seemed like an impossible situation. My thanks to
all the SysOps around the country who helped...
Lew N6VV
p.s. An interesting sidebar. All of these thousand of messages that were
delivered were transmitted on 220.90 MHz. I can only hope that UPS will
be able to utilize that frequency as effectively as we hams did during the
Quake of '89

Path : W6PW
Larry,
I was able to attend the NCPA H&W traffic meeting. It was
felt by all of the EC administrators that what is needed
most in an emergency packet system is a way to turn off
bulletins and H&W inquiries coming into an affected area
and to limit the use of selected systems to emergency
logistics and outgoing H&W messages. Incoming H&W
inquires are inappropriate, especially in the first days
following a disaster, because they are normally
undeliverable within the affected area due to inoperable
telephones and displaced addressees. Someone affected by
the disaster would not be at their home but at a shelter
or other relocation center and relatives and friends would
not know where the affected person was until they received
an outgoing message from the individual. Incoming
messages addressed to individuals not directly affected by
the disaster may be deliverable but are of lower priority
and clog up the system, slowing the passing of priority
traffic.
We explored some ideas on how this could be done and came
up with the concept of putting HF gateways and other
principal BBS's into emergency mode, which would result in
the automatic rejection of non-emergency traffic and all
incoming H&W inquiries with an appropriate message or
prompt to a user attempting to pass other than emergency
traffic. The SYSOP would be able to put the BBS into
emergency mode as needed. We also identified the need to
be able to send bulletins out of the affected area,
providing information about the situation.
We discussed implementing two new send commands,
identifying the message as either incoming or outgoing
emergency traffic, outgoing H&W traffic or outgoing status
reports. Apparently using the commands SY and SZ for such
purposes would make it easy for the software writers to
filter out SB, SP and ST traffic. SZ would be used for the
highest precedence traffic, such as emergency logistics
and outgoing H&W traffic, and SY could be used for status
bulletins.
One way of initiating outgoing H&W welfare traffic is to
have it all originate at the shelters or other central
locations within the affected area. (We tried this four
days into the October earthquake recovery but used voice
rather than packet.) Currently the Red Cross uses
postcards for this purpose, with an expected delivery
within three days. Any packet system used for this
purpose would have to achieve an equal or better delivery
rate. Evidently there is software available that can
preformat H&W messages, so that all that has to be entered
is the identifying info on the sender and the addressee.
I hope this summary is useful to you. If you have any
questions please let me know.
Warmest regards,
David

Subject : tnx for copy
LArry; Appreciate the copy of David's synopse. I did not expect
to be able to educate any one anymore (I gess I am a poor
communicator) and did not have any high hopes for the meeting,
so didnt attend. I guess things could have been worse.
Yes, you ae right, w0rli has refused such a scheme, so
it wouldnt matter if the other syysops implemneted it or not,
it would bog down at the first bbs, but... didnt ANYBODY
learn anything during the Earthquake.
It SHOULD be clear that
1) The committee was tasked originally to achieve something on
improving H&W faciliation via packet not killing it.
If it refuses H&W incoming during the first 48 hours then, as
most have observed, H&W incoming past the first 48 hours becomes
even older and even less relevant. Also the network
congestion caused by letting it come in after 58
hours would be logrythmicly worse than to let it come in
at the begiining.
2) There is no difference between H&W traffic priorities for
inquiries if the addressee is a victim or is not affected. The
inquirer in EITHER case is worried sick, and just needs an
answer. The facts are that 99%.9 percent of te inquiries
during the earyyhqquake were for unaffected people, yyet the
relief they felt (even though maybe less than 10% were
received before long distance incoming service was restored)
is exactly th same as the relief the inquirer would feel if the
person was at a shelter. That is, the inquirer feels a need
to help and to ascertain Health and welfare status. A mesaage
back saying I am ok, is all that is needed regardless if
they are at a house or a shelter.
All this seems real logical to me, but eiter I
cant communicate anymore or my brain works
too weirdly for others.
You know as well as every other sysop, there was no need
for outbound out of state EMERGENCY type traffic nor
inbound and the chances of it being so is very very low.
It seems rediculous to me to close down the entire packet
network for traffic that will probably never occur.
Realtime bbs links could be useful for direct connect. kike thecontra
costa county linked bbs system, but we are set up
to be able to fwd with each other directly not via
intermediary BBS fwding.
Outgpimg H&W trafic is easyy. Just go into a shelter and offer it.
We did in Oakland but tere was no takers. There was little
response in SF as well. Given a larger disaster there
would probably be more takers, but tat is a matter of the
local ARES group or local hams arranging to go into
shelters to offer the service. The BBS system can
take the outgoing as it normally accepts "T" type messages
BUT IT WOULDNT GO ANYWHERE if they limit P, B, AND T in
favor of Z and Y type traffic unless as you say, they
make Y type really T welfare type.
Oh well, it just upsets me the more I think about it
*-) ... packet could get the inquiries accross the country
if we had guidelines etc. Without it, it will
work the way it worked during the Earthqquake and MOSTLIKELY
there will be very little other traffic to handle.
Experienced ECs should know that te only out of region
radio needs from their local area would be OES region 2 HQ
in Pleasant Hill if they were serving a government agency and/or
their County OES. For Red Cross, it may include also
Western Operations HQ in Burlingame (which n6iiu BBS acts as a gateway).
The BBS at State OES Region 2 is KI6WE BBS and it can be reached
via n6vv-2.
State OES in Sacto has requested us to go to Region 2, and
not the Sate OES direct in Sacto. This is official RACES
policy. Granted if OES Region 2 is wiped out, then there
may be a need to talk directlyy to State OES in Sacto, but
if its emergency traffic, it should be done direct, or
at least direct to wa6nwe-1 bbs, I would think.
The only scenario for longer disatance emergency
communications needs, is that of FEMA's plan for VERY
LARGE DISASTERS such as very large earthquakes. Here we
are talking about 100 ties greater than the October Quake.
If it occurred in the SF region, headquarters would be
set up in LA. If it occurred in the LA region, HQ would be
set up in San Francisco, thus the furtherest
packet links would be about 400 miles. Granted that could
be done via HF GateWays, but if it was emergency traffic,
It would be best to arrange a direct 40 M or 80 M (evening)
bbs link of which we have none now. The 10, 15, and 20 M
HF GateWays as you know would not be able to handle such
short skip and only n6eeg on 30 M would have a chance.
Oh well, maybe you want to pass a copy of this on to Dave,
or is it just my normal pedantic ravings? Anyway,
LArry, guess I have gone to too many unproductive meetings
and seen too many plans and hopes squashed to
be as positive as i would have been years ago, about
actually utilizing packet in a functional and
efficient manner during a disaster. Of course
technically there is no problem, the network is there,
but people wise, there is no plan, no functional
dedicated, nor educated organization to plan it
or to effect it, but I give those who attended a lot
of credit for spending their time in an honest attempt.
Will probaly be moving in about 10 days and the antennas will
be down then. If I am still around, I could
check in from time to time with te portable, but
will definitely send some traffic from Oregon.
I need a long rest by the river. 73, don

Walter;
I understand about the committee. All you can do as chairman is
to facillitate the meeting and try to guide it as best you
can. Other than that, it would have been dictatorial or "political"
or whatever. In a sense, from what I have head from others
it could have been worse.
As you have observed before and I agree, if you put a moratorium
on incoming inquiries for te first 48 hours, then you
are ensuring the inquiries to be old and stale when you deliver
them. You also ensure that when the bbs open back up for
NTS inquiries, that the system would be flooded even more
so than if we would let it come in gradually in the beginning.
In other words it would guarantee even a bigger mess and even
less of a timely and valuable service than the
plan we had before the earthquake (which of course wasn't
really a plan at all). Yalk about making some steps backwards...hi.
Of course the above would occur only if there was national
agreement and organization that was capable of putting
"T" type incoming traffic on hold anyway, which at this
time doesnt exist. Also you would have to have the bbs
distinguish between incoming and outgoing "T" tyype traffic
in order to pass the outgoing "T" type and to hod the incoming.
Nothing exists so far for that either.
IN regards to "EMERGENCY" type traffic via packet
bbs, there should be almost zero need to fwd such. The plan
in Contra Costa Countyy is to link the various bbs
directly in direct connections for emergency traffic
that is no emergencyy trafic would be fwded from one
bbs thru a second bbs to a third bbs, except for
County Wide emergency bulletins. All bbs wouldbe using
AA4re bbs softwae capable of multiple connect on the same freq
and simultaneous fwding on any frequency.
None of us project a need for long distance EMERGENCY type traffic
except to OES REGION 2 HQ in pleasant Hill (KI6WE BBS)
which of course is already part of Contra Costas linked nns system.
State RACES policyy is to have all Stae OES traffic from
our area sent to region 2 and not to Sacto. We are directed
to use SActo only if region 2 is destroyed/disabled.
Most of the Pacific Division high population areas are within
region 2, hence there may reason for SCV, EBAY, and SF section
BBs to set up a plan how to link with ki6we direct if needed.
Going to Sacto is a bit more complicated, but the hoe bbs for
State RACES is OESSAC or WA6NWE-1 BBS. Which you might
want to make sure can enable you for emergencies if ki6we
fails. This type of planning of course has been relegated to
wa6aeo, the NCXPN Emergency PAcket Coordinator, and he
may have some more mature thoughts about this than I.
Only in a major disaster, will there be a need for
long distance packet links. FEMA, for instance,
has a plan in where a large debilitating earthquake or
other disaster in the San Francisco Area would be Headquarted
in Los Angeles and likewise a large disaster in LA would be handled
in SF. Such a scenario coud benefit greatly
from packet bbs links direct on HF but only n6eeg
has one on 30 m and that is to w8akf near Santa Barbara.
20, 15, and 10 m would be too long skip to do statewide
communications, and there ae currentlyy no NORCAL
BBS on 40 or 80 M (although w6pw, w6cus, ke6bx used
to do the SCAL link to KD6SQ and w8AKF on 40M years ago
with very good throughput.
The point being, there has appearded no need in the
past to do emergencu traffic out of state and there is
very likely not goung to be a need as this is not
in any State, county, or City scenario at this time.
The idea of BBS fwding emergency tyype traffic through
more than one bbs makes me a bit uncomfortable, and I am
not sure what type of emergency traffic some of the
ECs expected during disataers.
These comments are based on a couple of repors that I
received from what occurred at the H&W/Packet Meeting
on Saturday, June 9; but not being there, of course,
I may have received inaccurate information. From what
I gathered, it still seesm that the largest challenge is to
educate ECs on what the packet bbs systems are capable of
offering, and for te ECs to communicate to the packet
association (NCXPN) what they need.
Since WA6AEO is both a packet sysop, a net/rom sysop,
Chairman of the NCXPN Emergency Comm Committee, and also
a long time ARES/RACES member in Contra Costa County,
I will end a copyy of this to him as well, and maybe
a meeting covering these topics can be implemented.
Walter, I think you and the H&W Committee served an
important function. It is obvious to both of us, that
packet has allowed us to handle high quantities
of H&W traffic (more so than ever before in the historyy
of Amateur radio) in and out of disaster areas; but it
is still the local interface (For delivery and origination)
that still suffers. This is not a new problem to
those of us who have struggled with this for many
years, still I think that local delivery is possible
(as shown by the great work at w6pw and wd6cmu bbs during
the earthquake where close to 4000 messages were delivered).
Obviously, most inquiries will be for those who are unaffected
and who are safe. THIS IS ALWAYS THE CASE, BUT IT DOESNT MEAN THAT
THE INQUIRY IS ANY MORE INVALID. HERE THE SERVICE IS FOR THOSE
RELATIVES AND FRIENDS WHO ARE SUFFERING REAL MENTAL
ANGUISH. Their relief is not any different if the person
is alright in a shelter or is alright in their home. The
point is that they are alright and do not need assistance
from the family. Of course, some hams like to put this
service down completely by sayying the inquirer is
some disatnt cousin or uncle twice removed but in my
experience they are MOTHERS AND FATHERS, DAUGHETRS
AND SONS who are worried sick. When that worriedness
extends 3, 4, or more days and the media has reported
casualties ham radio can and has provided a much
valued service to these families, and I am for you
100% in trying to achieve this service as long as
other disaster communications does not suffer, which
I am sure can be achieved; but only so if we have
educated, intelligent, informed, and dedicated hams willing
to implement a plan. Barring that, it is difficult to
watch....hi.
Anyway, Walter, I hope that te above comments reflect somewhat
on some of the conclusions came to by the committee. I realize
that you have expended a great effort in this regad and
are to be congratualted. I hope that most of the
participants went home a little more educated
as to packet's potential and perhaps in the future, given
enough information and development, some sort of
practical service could be planned for and implemented in
which families who are separated by commercial
communications blackouts for many days, can communicate
with each other via our system. The point
of NTS, from the beginning was to be there when the
chips were down for third party communication, but
as you have found out, the NTS leadership really does
not intend that to occur. I will take the
liberty of sending a copy of this to my SEC, STM, and to
WA6AEO, the NCXPN EMERG. COMM. CHAIR. Thanks again for the
fine efforts... hope all is well. 73, Don
CC: KB6TKL - Chairman, NCXPN
ORIENTATION FOR MESSAGE CENTER RUNNERS
Thanks for volunteering at the Red Cross Message Center!
The message center is a part of the Disaster Communications Center
who attempts to accurately and quickly facilitate communications
between the Red Cross Operations Center and the various shelters,
feeding stations, first aid stations, government agencies, and
other disaster support agencies.
In order to do this accurately and quickly the following points
are offered:
1) The message center manager should orientate all runners.
2) All messages should be legible. Look at it before it's "run".
If it is not readable to you it will not be readable to others.
Ask for legibility improvements before you run it.
3) All messages should have a time (also date is helpful). If a
time is not entered please write it in. This is most helpful.
4) "Most" messages should have a "TO" and "FROM" name, title, and
location. The message center manager should decide whether or not
the message is either "DELIVERABLE" or "ANSWERABLE" according to
the amount of adequate information.
5) Messages concerning donations goes to FUNDRAISING.
" " FOOD " " FOOD PRODUCTS/FEEDING
" " SUPPLIES " " SUPPLY
" "VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT " VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR
" " STAFFING & PROCEDURES " MASS CARE
" " MEDICAL PROBLEMS & NURSES HEALTH SERVICES
" " FEEDING, FOOD, FOOD DONATIONS FOOD PRODUCTS
" " ADMINISTRATION /AUTHORITY ADMINISTRATION
The above are just some of the most common places where runners may
have to deliver or pick-up from. Locations and exact titles *WILL*
change but the basic departments above should prove to be adequate
in almost all cases.
PROBLEMS
Besides illegible and incomplete messages one of the biggest
problems for delay, confusion, and even lost messages is when a
message requests a response and supplies from more than one
department in the same message. For example if a message reads:
TO: OAkland Red Cross Service Center FROM: Joan Doe
(Notice no Title) Shelter Manager
Oakland High School
Request 20 blankets, 20 cots, 3 chairs, 30 diapers, 2 nurses, and
lunch for 80 people.
If this message were left on the SUPPLY desk for a few hours in
order for SUPPLY to act on the 3 chairs, then the other departments
would not be notified in good time or at all. The solution to this
is not always simple. This is why we ask all of you to help in
making this work by spotting possible problems *BEFORE* they arise
and bringing them to the MESSAGE CENTER MANAGER. Thanks for your
great efforts.
