REMINDER: The meeting this month is on the third Thursday (19th) due
to the Thanksgiving holiday on our regular scheduled night.
We will start off the meeting with a short talk by a special guest.
In addition, there are several news items to cover since our last meeting.
As we decided last month, instead of a topic presentation, we will
explore the world of the PowerPole. If you are an experienced
PowerPole user, bring your PowerPole creations, adapters, and ideas for
others to see. If you are new to PowerPole connectors, bring your
questions.
Judy, N2KXS, purchased PowerPole connectors in bulk on behalf of our
ARES group and will have them available for sale at the meeting. Bring
cash.

Atlantic Division to Host Webinar
(Nov 10, 2009)
-- Periodically, the ARRL’s Atlantic Division hosts a "webinar" -- an
interactive Web-based seminar, designed to facilitate communication
between a small number of presenters and a large remote audience using
the Internet. On Friday, November 13 at 9 PM EST, Chuck Blocher, PhD,
KC2IQV, will present a webinar entitled The Emotional Go Kit: Are You Prepared?
"As hams serve as emergency and public service communicators, we
prepare our Go Kits and necessary gear to provide essential
communications," said webinar sponsor ARRL Atlantic Division Director
Bill Edgar, N3LLR. "How prepared are you concerning your emotional
wellness during one of these events? This webinar addresses the
emotional well-being and preparedness for those Amateur Radio
communicators who participate in emergency and public service
situations." Please click here to register for this informative, interactive Internet meeting.
Chuck presented this session at EmComm East on October 3, 2009, and was very well received.

Welcome to the New York State All-Hazards Alert and Notification web-based portal.

Concurrent with the posting to this website, that same information will be disseminated through various communications systems (e.g. email, cell phones, media outlets) to those who sign up.
The information posted here will include severe weather warnings, significant highway closures, hazardous materials spills, and many other emergency conditions. Additionally you will find information regarding response actions being taken by local and state agencies and protective actions that you should take to protect you, your family and your property.
