SUMMARY STATEMENT
A quote of $10,200 has been obtained from Alerting
Communicators of America for purchase of a tsunami siren for
Akhiok. This is undoubtedly the most "at risk" community on
Kodiak Island for a tsunami to occur with little or no time
for a warning. We have been working with the village to
make sure that all six and Chiniak have working sirens.
Larsen Bay and two more in Chiniak remain to be purchased.
We have been completing one per year.

We have attained what is probably the most accurate information
based only on feed -back from each village community with regard to
communication otatun. We offer the following summary and
recommendationt
SIT@ ANALrBiS:
Larsen Bay This site has Bt.r./Side Band Radio, VHF
Radio, and citizens sand. The HF and VRr
seem to be working. The C.B. Radio and
antenna need repair and/or replacement.
There is currently no warning siren in
this community)
Port Lions This community prenently has Hr/Sdde'Band
Radin, vHr Radio, Citizens Bank Radio,
and a warning siren. Port Lions seems to
be in good shape)
Ouzinkie The Status of ouzinkie seems to be up to
par, same as that of Port Lions) .

Memorandum - Jerome Selby

RECOMMENDATIONS:
(specific) Provide and install warning devices
(sirens) at Karluk, Larsen. Bay, and
AkhiOks
Provide HF/SSB Radio for Rarluks and
Provide HF/SSB antenna at Akhiok. Check
existing radio for performance.
(General) 1. May sites do not have "AUX" or
"Backup" power for radio systema. Such
backup power should be considered. In
some cases, this means the installation
of 12 volt batteries and I'm Failure
Switching," in other cases (requiring 110
volts) a small generator would do the
Jobs
2. All FCC Communications licenses should
be checked and renewed, if necessary, in
all remote locations=
3. Provisions should be : made for
"Mobility" of all radio hardware. Radios
located in low-lying areas (i.e., harbor
offices) should be removable so as to be
re -located to safe locations. "Emergency
Power Kits" and "Emergency Antenna Kite"
should be developed so that radios can be
easily used after re -locations and
9. The borough should continue to pursue
the goal of establishing `'Remote Control"
of community warning devices (sirens) in
each community.
Several years ego, Aksala Electronic of Kodiak developed a proposal
for providing this capability. This proposal was never acted upon.
We recommend that a new and fresh "Request for Proposal" be issued
to address this need.
