"SEEN: Prepared Communication for Real-World Emergencies."
"The first 24 hours in a real-world event (RWE) is the most critical time. SEEN is a local emergency communications group in Alabama and is an affiliate of the American Redoubt Radio Operators Network (AmRRON). SEEN is not intended to replace any formal emergency agency entity in any municipality, county, or state. Rather, SEEN is a resource to be deployed as needed within our local areas during an RWE and to act as a liaison to AmRRON for the purposes of passing information from local areas or regions in the case of a major event. We can also work with local officials on an as-needed basis but our primary focus is within our own communities first.
Our local team is made up of amateur radio, GMRS, CB, MURS, and FRS radio operators.
Involving local people that use ham radio, citizen band, FRS, and GMRS, radios that work and train together on a local basis to do emergency communication in times of man-made or natural disaster.
SEEN utilizes a full toolbox of communication modes including voice and all of the popular digital modes.
SEEN conducts a weekly voice net in the Birmingham area utilizing a UHF repeater with excellent coverage in several counties.
You can listen to a SEEN net!

1. If you live in Central AL you will need a scanner or two-way radio that can receive the UHF (70cm) radio frequencies. There are a number of reasonably priced products available. If you want to monitor our HF (shortwave nets) you will need a shortwave radio or use one of the many receivers available online at websdr.org. Contact us if you need help.
