Major changes have occurred within our sister group ARES. Hub Harvey, N4HUB has resigned as
Emergency Coordinator for Jefferson County ARES, effective Thursday, March 29th. Hub is the new Supervisor of Emergency Management for Shelby County, Alabama. Hub will continue as ARES Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator for Central Alabama. It is good to know a familiar face (and a ham) will be in charge of the EMA of ALERT’s host county.
Congratulations Hub! It’s good to see an ALERT alumni rise to the top.
The new Emergency Coordinator for Jefferson County is JVann Martin, W4JVM. He, having been in Amateur radio for 20 years, is well versed in emergency communications. He has served as President of the Healthcare Community Amateur Radio Club (HCARC) and is very active in ARES operations.
Congratulations, JVann! We look forward to working with you, as ALERT and ARES prepare for and stand ready to help our community during times of need.
