"Hospitals, Health Agencies, Ham Operators and Law Enforcement test response to major health emergency in metro Atlanta
Emergency simulation takes on added significance after Hurricane Katrina

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA (Sep. 27) In a test of preparedness for a wide-area health emergency, several hospitals, health agencies and law enforcement agencies, along with the Gwinnett Amateur Radio Emergency Service (Gwinnett ARES), are conducting a test response to a simulated health emergency affecting much of North Georgia.

This exercise, scheduled months before Hurricane Katrina focused the nation's attention on disaster response and communications, will test the response and inter-agency communications capabilities of the participants as they deal with a simulated disaster."

but the pioneering spirit that put the code
