  25. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS Future Forecast

  26. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS Algeria is a wide country with a wonderful 1200 Km coast on the Mediterranean sea, however situated on an active seismic zone which has been well known in the last centuries.

  27. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS This seismic zone expands on 100 Km inland including all the coastal band which gives us a 120 000 km² of seismic surface that are completely exposed to natural catastrophes with a maximumdensity.

  28. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS SEISMIC RESQUE Strong Medium Weak

  29. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS Besides earthquakes, land sliding such as in Constantine area, flooding and diseases requiring specific observation. In fact it has been demonstrated that in similar circumstances, first hours are crucial in saving human lives.

  30. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS Contacts will be held with the National Federation of Radio Hams at the Civil security services (FNRASEC) to check their organization with the idea of including their activities within the ARA

  31. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS The FNRASEC have provided several information and have proposed a joint venture between the ARA and the FNRASEC The Joint Venture concept is still under study by the ARA as a second opinion has been requested from the civil protection team

  32. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS The Joint venture should be signed between the ARA and the FNRASEC during the FNRASEC congress that shall be held in Nainville (FRANCE) in September 2005 with the presence of the ARA

  33. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS Following this friendship and brotherhood meeting, the URE President have decided to provide ARA with a basic equipment for training research and use in emergency cases and natural catastrophes

  34. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS On a first phase the URE provided six operational portable ICOM H16 and two out of order

  35. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS On a second phase, a VHF repeator will be provided

  36. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS A file has been prepared and issued to ARPT to obtain an authorization granting. This process is still on going

  37. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS To have a better idea on our services as well as introducing all possible radio Hams services in urgent situations and mainly to update our training, a ‘ Field Day’ organization should be held for Algerian Hams

  38. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS The Field Day will be a simulation day for a catastrophic case. It will enable users and the team to establish radio links with a QRP equipment that is battery power fed only

  39. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS This exercise is considered excellent as it will enable us to evaluate our real capacities and behavior towards stressfull and catastrophic situations

  40. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS The same exercices were realesed beetween ARA and Algerian Civils Protection,

  41. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS CONCLUSION

  42. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS Since ages the earth has always quaked and will always do! However no one knows when and where will be the next time? unfortunately nobody can predict such catastrophes for the moment. As a result we have to be always prepared to face and deal with nature and learn the best efficient ways to be vigilant and helpful when the time comes

  43. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS On a long term, ARA is planning a second repeator installation VHF/UHF to be able to control the 120 000 km² and respond promptly through an instant authority alert, and therefore contribute for an effective aid organization

  44. AMATEURS RADIO ALGERIENS • On a short term, a VHF connection will be installed in Algiers for testing. This new base will enable us to control Tipaza’s area, as well as some of Chelf, Bouira as well as Tizi Ouzou areas including Boumerdes
