As ever group members are reminded to monitor local weather forecasts and news bulletins in case any flood related activity is planned for the area. Raynet's role in West Norfolk in tidal flood situations is to provide operators for control rooms and at designated rest centres if they are opened. They may also be asked to provide some communications in support of any planned evacuation. Raynet will NOT be involved in monitoring of water levels (an Environment Agency role) and operators are reminded to not put themselves into areas at risk of flooding. Raynet will support the Emergency Planning Unit and other voluntary organisations during such activities and any resources available will be tasked subject to greatest need. The latest state of flood warnings can be found on the EA's website by clicking here . |

Thank you to all the members that were able to attend Exercise PENelope. This looked at a multi-agency distribution of a Precautionary Evacuation Notice in the North West Norfolk coastal area of Hunstanton, Heacham & Snettisham. Around 40 volunteers took part from various agencies with Raynet providing the core communications for some of the teams. We deployed as per the operational plan on VHF simplex and also had opportunity to use UHF d-Star as well which proved quite effective.  Martin G4OKH at the Control |

Thank you to the members that were able to attend the AGM this year held in Hunstanton recently. The current committee stays in post for another year and things discussed included the control caravan, training packages and the role of the voulunteer in resilient communications. After the AGM members had the opportunity to look round the local authority unit standby control room. |
