Back in 1994 we had a huge snow/artic air event that pretty much shut the
area down for most of a week.  That was mid-January.  In mid-March, we had
what was then an historic flooding event.  Both times, HAM operators (and
SKYWARN members) played major roles in keeping communications going.  The
hobby got a lot of mention on the local news, and I can remember spending a
lot of time listening to them on my scanner set.

I am not sure that a lot of people really appreciate the role they can play
during a catastrophe.
