We don't use 2 meter a whole lot here. Most of our people are authorized to use the local ESMARN frequency (155.025) and they coordinate through our EOC.
We usually have a HAM down here to handle any 2 meter traffic that comes in from other folks. Since we've got like a million bucks worth of radios down here it usually isn't too hard to scare up a HAM or two to work weather events.
Glad all is well with you and I'm deeply sorry to hear about the losses your community suffered.
