To amplify Ward N0AX's suggestion: all contesters WORLDWIDE this weekend
-- especially those competing in the WAEDC and NA SPRINT contests, please
avoid the multiple emergency frequencies being used in the Caribbean and
United States (IARU Region 2) for emergency and related hurricane
communications and give them wide berth. CW and digital stations should
keep 4 kHz away (at least) on the correct side (low for LSB nets, high for
USB nets) of the SSB nets operating in the Caribbean to avoid interfering
with their communications.
The best link to keep up-to-date appears to be that of IARU Reg. 1. *To
keep up-to-date, check: **https://www.iaru-r1.org
<https://www.iaru-r1.org/>.*
(I did not find any up-to-date info on the IARU Region 2 website.)

The National Emergency Network of the Mexican National Society (FMRE)
declared on 8th September that they would be using the following
frequencies as they prepared for the arrival of Hurricane Katia.
With the magnitude 8.1 Earthquake hitting Mexico at 0449UTC today, assume
that these frequencies are in use now as they respond to that disaster.
20m 14,120 kHz
40m 7,060 kHz
80m 3,690 kHz
14325 kHz was also expected to be used to co-ordinate with the USA
Hurricane Watch Net.
Various Winlink nodes may also be used to deal with the emergencies.
With HF propagation disturbed after the X9 solar flare on Wednesday, please
take all steps to avoid interference to emergency communications activities
in the Caribbean.
