Huntington Beach RACES

A strong weather spotter program is critical to maintain the high standards of weather forecasting at the NWS and provide the most accurate forecasts possible. Learn more about the program and how you can help.

The strong system of storms last week and the RACES and CERT activities to support the cities response should be taken as a reminder to be vigilant and to learn as much as possible about our local hazards. Take advantage of the great opportunity to talk with a ‘Real Live NWS Forcaster’

Due to the large attendance expected, the meeting will be help in the council room B3 adjacent to the city council chambers. More info and talk-in assistance on our RACES city hall repeater 145.140 Mhz. Arrive early to get seated and to ensure we can start right away at 7pm.

HB RACES is preparing to support the Huntington Beach Fire Department’s response to the February 7, 2010 marathon event. This world class event brings thousands of participants to the 26 mile course along the beach and through central park. The city will maintain essential Police and Fire services during the event and be prepared to handle increased demand for services with the assistance of HB RACES.

An important planning meeting will be held on February 1, 2010 at 7pm in the EOC to discuss the deployment of HB RACES for the marathon and coordinate our efforts for the proactive Fire Department response for this event.

The marathon is held on Superbowl Sunday, February 7, 2010 with the marathon start scheduled for 6:30 am. There are numerous road closures in effect for this event.

The attached audio file augments the Fire Department dispatch files Peter uploaded earlier this week. This one is recorded from a tactical channel where you’ll hear on scene communications from the incident on Warner St yesterday. We hams would do well to emulate these brief and to the point communications. And please notice that contact is always in to/from format. This recording is about 18 minutes long. Please listen to the entire recording.
