Nearly Half Of US States Fail On Emergency Plan Communication, New Study Shows: "Seven years after Sept. 11, and in the wake of many major natural disasters such as forest fires, hurricanes and flooding, nearly half of U.S. states either have no state-level emergency plan or do not provide it readily to the public, reveals a new study by George Mason University Communication Professor Carl Botan."

An email from Frank AA7XA

I am sad to tell you that my beloved wife, Carma S. King, passed away at 11:30 p.m. Oct. 12.

She is in God's hands, and granddaughters, Sanie and Jennifer, son Mike, and I, are o.k.

Please don't reply to this message, because I won't have the time to answer all of you. I love you all.
