Port Ludlow emergency committee outlines communications plan, radio relocation and volunteer roles
Summary
The portability emergency committee chair described plans to improve communications between block captains, radio operators and the county, including relocating radio gear to a church as a lower-elevation backup for tsunami risk and expanding online training resources.
The chair of the portability emergency committee described the committee's focus on strengthening neighborhood-to-command communications and volunteer training. "The foundation is the communication," the chair said, explaining plans to move communications gear to a church at lower elevation to preserve radio capabilities if a tsunami jeopardizes current facilities.
The committee is expanding resources, including training videos on radio operation and a volunteer recruitment drive for block captains and medical or logistics helpers. The chair urged residents to prepare for extended disruptions and suggested keeping at least 30 days of food on hand as part of household readiness.
