February Training Presentation
February 1st, 2021

Thom W9RY will give a presentation called "Earthquake: Did you feel it?" The presentation discusses the dangers we in Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana face from earthquakes. It is not a matter of "if" but rather "when" will we experience a devastating disaster and the significant role we as amateur radio operators will play in the "donut hole" responses. The 30 minute presentation will discuss why the central region earthquakes will be more severe than other areas and how we can provide critical information to the USGS.
