Further, government and community response agencies cannot <br />anticipate every possible contingency and cannot afford the high cost of in- <br />place backup systems for every critical telecommunications network. <br />Therefore, amateur radio will continue to be an essential resource during <br />major disasters. As such, emergency managers need to continue integrating <br />amateur capabilities into local plans, while training and exercising amateur <br />radio operators in their mission. <br />Civil government cannot ignore the threat of information warfare.
