Members of the Nevada County ARES team assisted the Red Cross (Sacramento) in building a “to go” box for the deployment of ARES teams during emergencies. The 2-meter box consisted of a Kenwood 2 meter mobile radio, power supply and modem for digital modes. Jim Piper of RedCross hopes to deploy several of the “go” boxes for this region.

Make sure you are signed up for Code Red. This is a phone app that will allow your phone to be notified in the event of evacuations. I had the app during last years McCourtney fire and it notified me that I needed to evacuate. The county is trying to get as many residents signed up as possible.
