Recent Major Disasters in Region 3 • 1970.11: Cyclone-Bangradesh • 1976.07: Tangshan Earthquake-China • 1999.01: Kobe Earthquake-Japan • 1999.09: Earthquake-Taiwan • 2001.01: Gujarat Earthquake-India • 2003.12: Bam Earthquake-Iran • 2004.12: Indian Ocean Tsunami
IARU Region 3 Activities (1) • Some Major Societies are instituted. JARL (Emergency Communications Council), NZART (AREC), WIA (WICEN) • Some Societies have been operating, temporarily base. ARSI, BARL, CTARL, KARL, PARA, SARTS • Other Societies will grow in due couse.
IARU Region 3 Activities (2) • IARU Region 3 Disaster Communications Committee formed in 2000 with 15 member Societies- ARRL, ARSI, CRSA, CTARL, HARTS, JARL, KARL, NZART, PARS, PNGARS, RAST, RSSL, SIRS, VARS, WIA. However, its intra-Regional activities are still in slow pace.
IARU Region 3 Activities (3) • IARU Disaster Communications Advisor’s role for inter-Regional networking will be essential for the future activities of IARU.
IARU Region 3 Activities (4) • Facts Sheet for 7MHz Action Plan 7. The recent earthquake and tsunami disaster in South Asia has shown that major disasters can affect many countries at the same time. When 7 MHz was used for disaster communications, as in Dec 2004/Jan 2005, the transmissions from one country caused interference to another. Insufficient clear spectrum was available for emergency communications and nets.
