\"Earthquake<\/a><\/p>\n

At the 2007 Triennial IARU<\/span> Region 2 Conference, the General Assembly established a Region 2 Relief Fund. Like many other areas around the world, portions of R2<\/span> are situated in areas that are subject to numerous hurricanes, severe storms, floods, earthquakes and other types of natural disasters. During some of these natural disasters, Region 2 national amateur radio societies have suffered severe or extreme damage to their society stations and buildings, including antenna systems. The societies in Region 2 felt there was a need for a process of collecting donations and distributing donations to Region 2 Member Societies who have suffered damage to their national society stations or buildings that are due to natural disaster.<\/p>\n

The resolution passed unanimously by the Region societies at the conference directed that funds accumulated in the Region 2 Relief Fund shall be distributed by the R2<\/span> Executive Committee solely to assist Region 2 Member Societies for repairing or rebuilding stations and buildings, including antenna systems, because of damages resulting from natural disasters. Member Societies that receive funds from the Region 2 Relief Fund must provide a report with the R2<\/span> Executive Committee detailing for the use of such funds. The conference set aside an initial 5,000 USD<\/span> for the fund.<\/p>\n

In February of this year, Chile suffered a severe earthquake which registered 8.8 on the Richter scale. The headquarters station for the Chilean member-society, Radio Club de Chile, suffered major damage to its building and its antenna system. RCCH<\/span> asked the R2<\/span> EC<\/span> for monetary assistance from the R2<\/span> Relief Fund and the R2<\/span> EC<\/span> agreed to assist the society with funds to help repair its HQ<\/span> building and antenna system.<\/p>\n

This is an excellent example of the IARU<\/span> stepping in to help one of its member-societies in a time of need.<\/p>\n

If your national society would like to assist the RCCH<\/span> with a donation, please contact the Region 2 Secretary, Ramon Santoyo XE1KK<\/span> at xe1kk@\u200biaru.\u200borg<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
