28 | LIFE IN SOLERA | OCTOBER 2022 |
Do you have a plan or have available options if, for instance, a huge
earthquake disables our services around Solera? The time to think
about those options is now or before a catastrophic event and not
during the disaster.
One option to consider is to get acquainted with your "Ham Radio"
operators in Solera. These folks will be able to communicate with first
responders after a disaster event. They can also pass family messages
through a relay of amateur radio operators in the city, county, state,
or around the world.
Members of the Solera Radio Club prepare themselves for the
possibility of being "emergency communicators" for the residents of
Solera. To stay current with radio protocols by affiliating themselves
with government agencies like the Riverside County Emergency
Management Department (EMD), as well non-governmental entities
like the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL), members establish a
powerful radio system that is available to "ALL" Solera residents.
So, get acquainted with these radio specialists by meeting them
on Friday mornings at the Oakmont Clubhouse. They are readily
identifiable as they wear bright yellow safety vests with "Solera Radio
Club" printed on the back.
