USGS provides real-time information at 48 sites in Missouri showing the volume and depth of the water in our streams and rivers. This is an excellent resource to remotely check on flood levels. |

"Guidance
for Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service" |
Hospital Disaster Support Communications System - HDSCS stands for Hospital Disaster Support Communications System. It is a group of about 90 Amateur Radio ("ham") operators who have volunteered to provide backup internal and external communications for critical medical facilities in Orange County, California whenever normal communications are interrupted for any reason. The leader of HDSCS is April Moell, callsign WA6OPS.
Army MARS Contacts in Missouri - MARS radio operators hold both a Ham radio license and a MARS license. This link gives a list of MARS stations.
"As we discussed recently, you may wish to use this to let ARES groups know who and where Army MARS member are located. I will also be communicating to the MARS members encouraging them to make contact with the local ARES groups in their individual areas. Working both ways, we want to produce the closest possible local ARES/MARS relationships for mutual benefit.
"One task of MARS is to send an immediate "EEI" (Essential
Elements of Information)
report to "DOMS"
(Director of Military Support) in the Pentagon, in the event of any major
disaster or emergency situation, and information from local ARES groups is
critical for that to happen. Another task of MARS is to provide long range
HF emergency communications support to local, state and federal agencies,
including MO ARES. at
your service."

These operators can be of great assistance in communicating long distances since the frequencies they are allocated are often "clear channels" assigned to the military.
