In an effort to streamline hurricane support operations at ARRL Headquarters, the League has set up two e-mail addresses for hams to pose questions or relay non-emergent information to HQ Staff relating to hurricane or named tropical storm events. If you need to communicate with ARRL HQ regarding these storms, please use hurricane@arrl.org or hurricane@arrl.net. While these e-mail addresses are not monitored on a 24/7 basis, they are monitored during each storm’s descent on the US, as well as throughout the hurricane season.
