@tsherrygeo@m.ai6yr.org 2025 Palisades Fire in Los Angeles American Legion: Post 283’s ham radio operation proved ‘really important’ during Palisades Fire The post’s emergency communications center helped people escape the community during the wildfire. As the Palisades Fire made cellphone and other communication difficult, if not outright impossible, the emergency communications center at Post 283 came in handy. “When the fire happened, they were actually coaching and helping people get out of the community, until the repeater burned down a few blocks over,” said Post 283 Commander Joe Ramirez. “It actually served a really, really important purpose, being one of the only ways to communicate.” https://www.legion.org/information-center/news/emergency/2025/january/post-283s-ham-radio-operation-proved-really-important-during-palisades-fire #hamradio #disasters
