Operation Noah
Operation Noah is now history but lessons learned will continue to benefit the emergency communications preparedness in the communities where the ham radio operators live that took part in the exercise. We are receiving a steady stream of after action reports from across the Commonwealth of Virginia and North Carolina. These reports reflect areas that have been identified that need additional work to be better prepared for any actual disaster or communications crisis. The AARs also reflect what went well in the exercise
We have also begin to receive photos taken during this communications exercise. If you took pictures, please send these to glensage(AT)centurylink.net and I will post these on the page, Noah Photos. Be sure to include the names and calls of those pictured in these photos. In the next week or so, I will begin to place information in the After Action Summery.
It appears that messages sent and received number in the hundreds. All the Winlink gateways remained up and functional during this high traffic volume. With the exception of a few pockets of difficulty this was the smoothest and most effective SET that I have been involved.
If you have not completed your After Action Report or sent in your photos please do it right away.
