Opening Announcements
-------------------------------
If you're called out for a search response, what is your band plan for your amateur radio activity? And do you have them programmed in your rig(s)?

How would you prepare for out-of-area deployments.



Now we will begin CERT team roll calls, grouped by participating City CERT teams.  We will take any late or missing members after roll call finishes.  After roll call, we will call for visiting stations.
