HURRICANE EXPO(s)

HURRICANE EXPO 2010
Berkeley County ARES®/RACES will be at the EXPO on 28 August 2010

In past years, New Home Charleston and WCBD News 2 have partnered to present a Hurricane Expo in August of 2006 & 2008. The events were held at the Gaillard Auditorium, in downtown Charleston, SC, as part of the Custom Home & Remodel Show.
The all-day expo was to inform Charleston area citizens on how they can protect themselves before, during and after a hurricane. WCBD News 2 Chief Meteorologist Rob Fowler broadcast his weather live from the Expo.
Berkeley County South Carolina ARES® operated a VHF/UHF Amateur Radio station, using battery power, from the EXPO.
Numerous local, state and federal agencies and organizations participated.
The Expo was a great opportunity for the public to experience Amateur Radio and it's capabilities in times of disaster.
