In An Emergency
An amateur station is allowed to use any means at its disposal to assist another station in distress at any time during an actual emergency. (G2B12)
If you find yourself in an emergency situation, you should send a distress call on whatever frequency has the best chance of communicating the distress message. (G2B11)
In An Emergency
The first thing you should do if you are communicating with another amateur station and hear a station in distress break in is to acknowledge the station in distress and determine what assistance may be needed. (G2B02)
Before amateur stations may provide communications to broadcasters for dissemination to the public, the communications must directly relate to the immediate safety of human life or protection of property and there must be no other means of communication reasonably available before or at the time of the event.(G1B04)
In An Emergency
Only a person holding an FCC issued amateur operator license may be the control operator of an amateur station transmitting in RACES to assist relief operations during a disaster. (G2B09)
In an emergency, authorized hams participating in a
RACES organization may communicate
from a police helicopter.
In An Emergency
If the situation is really dire, more specifically when the President’s War Emergency Powers have been invoked, the FCC may restrict normal frequency operations of amateur stations participating in RACES. (G2B10)
