Florida Baptists focus on disaster relief communications

Because natural disasters often destroy cellular communications, Florida Baptist Disaster Relief leaders are gearing up to provide emergency communications using amateur radio operators, also known as hams, when the need arises, the Florida Baptist Witness reported.

“When a disaster happens, team members will deploy and communicate back to FLDR leadership about conditions on the ground … [allowing] us to mobilize needed resources quickly,” said Brad Gwartney, who coordinates communications and technology for the FLDR.
