There are some ways you can monitor the situation in Chile and a possible tsunami in Hawaii from your home. Here are some ways:
Listen to Hawaii County Police live via RadioReference, where you can hear agencies responding normally to the usual calls and others moving to higher ground. It was just announced as I’m writing this that dispatch is now moving to higher ground at the Hawaii Civil Defense EOC. Lots of tones are being sent, but I’m not sure if they are regular fire tone-outs or tones that activate the tsunami sirens or other equipment used to alert officials or the public.
Monitor (and assist if needed) the HF frequencies that were announced by Radio Club Argentina:
- 20m: 14.200 and 14.350 MHz (Chilean Red Cross), 14.300 MHz (IARU)
- 40m: 7.050 and 7.095 MHz (Chilean Red Cross), 7.060 MHz (IARU)
- 80m: 3.738 and 3.750 MHz (Chilean Red Cross)
Monitor (and assist if needed) the HF frequencies for the Hawaii tsunami:
- 20m: 14.246.50 MHz
- 40m: 7.088 MHz
- 80/75m: 3.888 MHz
Amateur radio operators are requested to keep these frequencies clear and to avoid harmful interference to any of these nets taking place.
Do you know of any other ways to monitor the situation? Add your information in the comments below.
