SEC KC5IMN advises that the upcoming Mississippi Section Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) Simulated Emergency Test (SET), code named ‘Operation Undead,’ is scheduled for Saturday, March 14, 2026, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. The scenario involves a disruption of commercial communications infrastructure, coupled with a localized biological threat that requires specialized public health coordination for quarantine and resource allocation.

The mission for Mississippi ARES will be to coordinate amateur radio operators to support overflow and emergency communications for Public Safety, Public Service, and State and Local Government entities, focusing on the Public Health sector. The exercise will utilize various Amateur Radio networks including HF, VHF, UHF, Analog, SSB, and Digital modes, with the primary goal being to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of emergency preparedness and demonstrate Amateur Radio capabilities to served agencies and the public.
