Where can you find frequencies that might have Coronavirus-related traffic?
In this episode, Phil shares with you what he's listening to and makes suggestions for you to find what you might want to listen for in your area.
What You Need To Know
- Some local radio frequencies will be encrypted, but don't expect everything to have encryption.
- You may be able to find local ambulance companies or EMS.
- Many of these dispatches give a rundown of symptoms before responders go in.
- Find frequencies for your local hospitals.
- Don't forget about news frequencies.
- Another suggestion is a university public safety office.
- On a national level, Phil suggests trying TSA, FEMA, and CBP.
- The NIFOG is a group with Homeland Security that responds in emergencies, and Phil has heard them in the past when they responded to Hurricane Sandy on Long Island.
- In search mode, maybe you'll hear something in aviation or rail, although rail is now being affected by the pandemic.
