OKMULGEE, Oklahoma -- Emergency management personnel met with a group of
ham radio operators in Okmulgee on Saturday. The idea is for the radio
operators to use their hobby in the case of a huge emergency, like the
wildfires that burned in the county last year. "Started out as a brush
pile. and very quickly it encompassed almost 1000 acres, and there were 7
homes and several families that were effected in that fire, " said Mark
Conklin, Okmulgee County Emergency Management. With a burn ban in effect
for at least the next two weeks, they're aware of what could happen, but
hopeful it won't. Amateur radio operators like Paul Teel are ready to help
if they need to, with any kind of severe weather our area might face this
spring. "Amateur radio is a little bit of the behind-the-scenes thing,"
Teel said. When cell towers are down, these guys step in. On Saturday, they
met with emergency management to talk about the upcoming severe weather
season. They're able to communicate even when our advanced technology
fails.
