  9. Questions but No Answer yet • How to get public awareness? • How to propagate positive publicity about the value of amateur radio and emergency communications • Resources are scarce. Timing is critical during emergency. How to be alert and prepared? • Are there facts to support our thoughts? • How to certify EmComm operators? • What is reliable emergency power source?
