GAREC Returns to Region 2 for 2010:

The 2010 Global Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Conference ( GAREC http://www.rientola.fi/oh3ag/garec/) will take place October 11-12 on the Dutch island of Curacao in the Caribbean. The theme of the conference will be Learning through Practicing.

According to GAREC 2010 Organizing Committee Chairman Seppo Sisatto, PhD, OH1VR, GAREC's mission is two-fold: To help Amateur Radio operators be better prepared for emergency communications and to create emergency communications exercises at both the national and international levels. Exchanging information and experiences among all Amateur Radio operators and groups that are interested in emergency communications helps to promote GAREC's vision of having regular worldwide cooperation and understanding between governments and the Amateur Radio Service in the field of emergency communications.

GAREC 2010 is organized in cooperation with the Dutch Amateur Radio Emergency Service (DARES http://www.dares.nl/) and Club for Experimental Radio Examination Netherland Antilles (VERONA http://www.muurkrant.nl/verona/uk/index.html). Sisatto said that details on the upcoming conference will be announced as they become available.
