JOTA - Peace, Environment and Natural Disasters

Buenos días,

Para todos aquellos colegas involucrados en actividades de la Jamboree On The Air (JOTA), os remito un email que circula por el grupo de comunicaciones de emergencia de IARU.

The theme of the 2011 Jamboree on the Air (JOTA, 15-16 October 2011) is
"Peace, Environment and Natural Disasters". I have now been contacted by
Richard Middlecoop, World JOTA organizer of the World Scout Bureau.
Richard is asking for assistance in establishing contacts between
national JOTA organizers and emergency communications groups of the
Amateur Radio Service.

This year's JOTA theme is an excellent opportunity to raise the
awareness for the role of the Amateur Radio Service in disaster
situations and we should support this initiative. I therefore suggest,
that you either contact and inform the respective groups and/or national
coordinators in your Region directly, or that you make respective
information available to the JOTA organizers.

Information about the event is available at

and Richard Middelkoop van be reached at .

TNX in advance and 73
