In watching the interviews from the areas devastated by the aftermath
of Katrina, one warning comes through loud and clear, and while it's

to work in many emergency situations can be dangerous or fatal.
Yes, and one of the reasons why there will be an on-going role
in the future for the amateur radio service (aka hams) to assist in
the event of emergencies when the existing infrastructure goes kaput.
