NP4G relays that emergency traffic will primarily be on 40 meters: 7.188 primary, 7.182 secondary, and some on the 60 meter channels. He asks stations with capable 40 meter antennas to be ready, particularly in the eastern half of the U.S. Those further west may want to be available should propagation on 40 "go long" as it often does at night when flux is low.
Please follow net discipline and don't make unnecessary transmissions. Avoid operating near these frequencies if you don't need to. Even if you don't hear anything, low power stations may be communicating and they can certainly hear a high power station.
Let's hope our many friends in Zone 8 make it through okay.
73, Ward N0AX
