Saturday, 18th April 2009 11:00 - 15:00 UTC
The date for this event, sponsored by IARU Region 1, has been
altered to coincide with World Amateur Radio Day
on Saturday, April 18th. The theme for the day of "Amateur
Radio: Your Resource in Disaster and Emergency Communication" is an ideal opportunity to showcase the work
of emergency communications groups around the world.
The timing of the event remains at 1100-1500 UTC but in a change for this and future events, the focus will be on
generating and relaying messages in a common format across country borders rather than the information
gathering about capabilities which has taken place in the past.
The rules are posted here, and on
www.iaru-r1.org and
www.raynet-hf.net

- Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications (GAREC) - 2009
(Updated: 28 February 2009)
EmComms across Borders 24 -25 August 2009
Welcome to GAREC-2009 !
The Fifth Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications (GAREC) Conference will be held on 24 - 25 August
2009, in connection with the JARL Ham Fair at
Tokyo Big Sight, Ariake, Tokyo Japan. (22 - 23 August 2009) The
Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL) hosts the Conference.
The Theme of the GAREC-2009 will be "Emergency Communications across Borders". The program will include
presentations about operations during disasters that occurred since last year's conference and discussions about
new developments in technology and their application in emergency communications. The detailed program will
be published in late April.
All Amateur Radio Operators interested in Emergency Communications are invited to participate. The fifth
GAREC continues the work of its four forerunners: After the first and the second GAREC in Tampere, Finland, the
third GAREC in Huntsville, Alabama, USA, and the fourth GAREC in 2008 in Friedrichshafen, Germany, this year's
event will be the first GAREC conference in IARU Region 3. The proceedings and the statements of the 2005,
2006, 2007, and 2008 conferences can be found at the GAREC web site indicated below. Emergency
Telecommunications are, by the way, also the theme of this year's World Amateur Radio Day (WARD-09) on 18
April, see http://www.iaru.org/worldAmRadioDay.html.
The Organizing Committee for GAREC-2009 consists of Seppo Sisatto OH1VR, and Jay Oka JA1TRC. Members of
the Program Committee are Keigo Komuro JA1KAB, Jim Linton VK3PC, and Hans Zimmermann, F5VKP/HB9AQS.
Registration will start early May.
