Defense, along with the Brazilian Amateur Radio League-LABRE, coordinators
of the National Amateur Radio Emergency Network-RENER, will promote on
October 4 and 5 an international amateur radio event celebrating the
International Accident Reduction day.

Natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, landslides,
shipwrecks and others, cause huge financial expenses and the loss of many
precious human lifes. The consciousness of society is fundamental to prevent
and minimize its effects. On these situations it is important that organized
groups are prepared to immediately help control these events and solve such
unexpected problems. The Amateur Radio Community, always wish to help on
these circumstances, make themselves present, spreading the news about this
event.

All Amateur Radio coleagues that contact ZY2A station and submit their QSL
