Realizing that they’d need more two-way radio, authorities dispatched police to wake up the emergency coordinator of the regional ham radio club, and escort him to the community hospital with his equipment. Area hams dispatched ambulances and doctors, arranged for essential supplies, and relayed emergency communications out of the area to those with working telephones.

We loose land line and cell phone communication for a day or 4 during winter storms. Local radio station even flooded out one year. We got reports of giant debris rafts coming down the river by listening to CB.

A generator powered Dish TV gave us helicopter views of our area.

An aquaintence got a sat phone in preparation for a predicted 9 earthquake

Old story. The cable cuts were actually in San Jose and San Carlos. The area effected was around Morgan hill.

The most likely perpetrators are members of the CWA who are in contract negotiations with AT&T at this time.
