At the time of natural calamities in any country, amateur radio operators play important role. Amateur Radio Operators can help the Govt. and Citizens of our country as volunteers at the time of natural calamity. Almost every year we face cyclones, floods and different kinds of natural disasters near the coastal areas, which damage human lives and properties. After these kinds of cyclones or floods different Govt. and non Govt. organizations start their work. Many medical teams go there with them at that time. Though this team has sufficient medical aid but only for the lack of communication they can not distribute aids properly even they cannot send information to head office or capital city. At that time sufferers can only understand the importance of communication.At this situation Only Amateur Radio Operators can help them with their complete radio communication system as volunteers and they can setup Emergency Amateur Radio Communication Networks within a very short time. This way it is very convenient to send information from coastal area between different working medical teams and capital or control rooms. As a result a combined rescue work becomes reality. At the time of earth quack and tsunami the importance of Amateur Radio is unbelievable. Amateur Radio Operators can work with Red Cross, Rover Scout, Girls Guide or BNCC as volunteer only for establishing radio communication.
