In most of those disasters, hams were the only source of communication. They meet weekly and practice monthly in order to be ready for such situations. In the recent tornado outbreak in the Villages, local hams were instrumental in coordination with police, fire, the red cross and other resuce agencies. The ham licenses are issued, in part, to preserve that emergency readiness.

Regardless of all of that, my point was about local deed restrictions being called into question in several arenas. For example the recent discussion about political candidates being allowed to visit door to door.
