During earthquakes, amateur radio operators can provide reliable on-the-ground observations from affected areas in a timely manner when other means of communication are offline. Join us for a lively conversation on Did-You-Feel-It (DYFI) via Winlink, how it came about, what it is, how it can be used to leverage disaster response worldwide. Implementing a consistent DYFI response has changed how ARES LAX operates and trains. Use this opportunity to learn about DFYI and to ask questions!
