Perhaps we can add one summation of these to the EmComm frequency sticky. I started this Topic so we wouldn't fill the sticky with back 'n forth noise. Here's the stuff I've found, I haven't had time to correlate the data: http://www.ominous-valve.com/hurricne.txt (Hurricane 2008) http://monitor-post.blogspot.com/2006/08/n5fpw-hurricane-emergency-monitoring_03.html (Hurricane 2006) http://www.odsgc.net/~sharc/Frequencies.html (Hurricane 2001) http://hurricanefrequencies.com/ http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/c3i/fema-frq.htm http://beyond-the-illusion.com/files/RF-Communications/Scanner/mil_fema_freqs.txt http://dxworld.com/fema.html http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/scan/fedfreq.html "Hurricane Katrina" and Amateur Radio freqs: http://www.mmsn.org/emergencyfreqs.html |

The fas.org list had some wild stuff at the bottom. Some guys talking about how FEMA's entire purpose for being is to put millions of Americans in internment camps.  Thanks for posting the info and for making the links hot. I would suggest that anyone preparing for EMCOMS might want to copy and paste all of the frequencies into a Word document and save it for future reference. No guarantee the internet will be up when you need those lists. Now where did I put my Aztec calendar.....

ar-jedi, thanks for the formatting. I intend to cross-ref them in an Excel spreadsheet. Frequency will be the reference point, with an entry for each recorded instance of use and the description. These are primarily Hurricane-related. I haven't located freqs (if different) used for the recent tornados, floods, etc. in the Mid West. -josh |
End Goal: Frequency resource for those who can use the info to better coordinate their own response to disasters. Perhaps responding to a disaster in their area, or listening in on another disaster to provoke thought and better future preparation. It's just one facet of overall incident awareness. I do not know of any reports that detail all problems/on-goings in a disaster. I am a peace officer, and I know how useful info can be if you spend some time trying to understand it. The cross-ref'd freq list helps distill a complete listing and illumine what is out there. Like another member said, this list probably won't be available to those in the affected area, so it's best to do it now. I still haven't come across any US Interior disaster freq lists. I haven't looked that hard, but most of what pops up is coastal/hurricane-related. I expect I may find a lot of ARES freqs once I start looking... I've gone through the first four lists and completely cross'd them in a spreadsheet. I hope to finish all by the end of the week. I'm using the NV6H list as the master freq reference, and I add/uniquely note additional freqs/descriptions as found in the other lists. Confusing? lol Suggestions, anyone? -josh |

I compiled the FEMA frequency lists that appeared to be the most current. This is a rough compilation of ALL lists referenced at the top of the spreadsheet. I used the Hugh Stegman NV6H 2008 freq list as a primary frequency reference. If the other freq lists had something material to add (better description of freq use, other users on same freq, etc.), I added their info separately under the NV6H freq or a new freq listing (as needed). The list sources were color coded for future reference. The list sources are also frozen at the top and are hyperlinks to the source. FEMA Freqs - 1st Compilation (Raw Data) |

A few tidbits gleaned from my FEMA freq compilation... "Utility" frequencies are those used by the likes of FEMA, military, etc. "Utility" is a key word in searches for freq lists of this type... "Utility" stations - wikipedia Utility World I could see where a tool like the SDR-14 could come in VERY handy for finding out which freqs are in use.
