EMERGENCY DRILL AT KANGAR 22 NOV BY MARTS RACES

RACES - "Radio Amateur Civil and Emergency Services".

MARTS RACES team conducts Emergency drill in Kangar Perlis on 22th Nov to HAMs in the area.

RACES team comprising of 9M2DA, 9M2LC, 9M2LR, 9M2PX, 9W2PCK, 9W2ART, 9W2ZE, 9W2SOR, 9W2WOC, 9W2RAY, 9W2ACY and 9W2AXE conducted a briefing on Saturday 22 Nov night followed by a simulated emergency drill on Sunday. Participants were split into groups and taught how to relay messages from goverment agencies involved through field responders ( licensed HAM operators trained by RACES). It is vital that HAMs should be trained to convey messages amongst members, in addition integrate and syncronise communication procedures in disasters, so that we all speak the same language.

As volunteers, RACES objective and long term plan is to be able to prepare HAMS to work together and be trained in support of their local area that is hit by disaster. Most of us are volunteers and we do it during our free time hence supporting fellow HAM members is vital in order to ensure there is enough volunteers at the disaster area.

We must not forget that our role is to provide and assist in communication only during disaster. Furthermore, we can only assist if we are asked to do so. For this, we have to be a recognised body of trained personnel in communications.

Kindly contact MARTS or UNIARM if you are interested in RACES.

AFTER EVENT REPORT : HELP OA KG REKOM

THE ROAD TO POS SIMPO WAS NOT SO SIMPLE

We collected the last of the donated goods at Anis Putri 2 in TTDI and 4 cars made their way to Raub at 10 pm on Friday 7 November 2008. We broke our journey in Raub for the night. The next morning 6 cars in Raub were to rendezvous with another 3 cars in Gua Musang.

OUR TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS IN A CONVOY


After lunch in Gua Musang, volunteers in nine off road vehicles convoyed towards Pos Simpo. The group entered the trail around 1230pm, with a fine weather outlook.

We reached Kg Dandut at 530pm where some of the donated goods was unloaded. Kampong Dandut, was the first village along the journey of about 40km from the trail head. There we were told that the logging had stopped since September and it was difficult for the villagers to get in and out especially for Kampong Rekom the last village along the route.



By the time we left Kampung Dandut, the rain started to pour and the trail condition deteriorated. The vehicles were sliding as the trail had turned slippery.



The weather took a turn for the worst as we reached the logging camp at the last hill before Pos Simpo. One by one, the vehicle gathered momentum and made a run up the hill. Four cars made it half way but it was a struggle as they were sliding from side to side of the trail. At this point we wondered if the other cars could make it. Sure enough the next two cars got stuck along the way and the rain became heavier and more running water was flowing down the hill. Time was running out as it was getting dark.

Big thanks to all who donated goods to the many OA villages on the way there. A big thank you goes to the team members consisting of HAM and non Ham volunteers from ORS and Buaya Puchong who made this trip possible.
