EXACTLY ONE

YEAR AGO

this month

we lauded the Allied Louisiana Emer-

gency Radio

Team

in Baton Rouge for the

first time

-for

its volunteer

efforts during hur-

ricane

"Betsy."

Or-

ganized

only five

months

prior to the

disaster,

the ALERT

group was highly

commended for

its

participation

in

emergency

assignments that

were issued

around

the clock. After another

year of

growth,

emergency service

to those in need,

and receiving a charter

through the State of

Louisiana, the ALERT

group is now solidly

established,

recognized and respected

by local

and area

authorities.

ALERT's

immediate

response to hundreds of calls for assistance

in the

past

year has drawn much

deserved

attention to the group, which

now numbers

well over

100

members.

Licensed

by the FCC

as

KMR5905,

the

ALERT

control center is

operated from

a

room donated by the Bellemont

Motor

Ho-

tel, from which

assigned members monitor

channels

9 and

23.

The crew of

monitors

includes

salesmen, barbers, welders,

busi-

nessmen,

newspapermen, printers,

policemen,

housewives,

and

secretaries. ALERT

Con-

trol is prepared

to immediately

furnish

Civil

Defense,

Red Cross, or law

enforcement

agencies

with more than 50

mobile

units to

help in any emergency

situation.

In

addition to the

group's work

during

Hurricane

"Betsy," helping to

serve

the

needs

of some 3000

evacuees, ALERT

par-

ticipated in "Operation

Safeguard,"

involv-

ing

the lifting of the

chlorine

barge

which

drew national

attention.

At least a portion

of ALERT's

success

as

an organized

emergency unit,

and

a group

now familiar

to thousands of

Louisianans,

must

be

credited

to the organization's

con-

tinuing efforts to inform

area residents

and

agencies of the

worthwhile

aspects

of CB

radio for emergency and

public service

com-

munications needs. In

line with your

CB

Editor's

proposals on how

to

create

a posi-

tive CB image (OTCB, October,

1966),

ALERT has

been one of the few

CB clubs

across the country to keep

area news media,

law enforcement and public

service agencies

informed of their progress,

activities,

and

emergency

assists.
