From the ARRL website:
The ARRL Simulated Emergency Test is a nationwide exercise in emergency communications, administered by ARRL Field Organization Leaders including Emergency Coordinators, District Emergency Coordinators, Section Emergency Coordinators and Net Managers. Many other Section Leaders like the Section Manager and the Section Traffic Manager may have a hand in planning the exercises and/or reviewing the results. Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), National Traffic System (NTS), Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) and other public-service oriented groups can be involved. The SET weekend gives communicators the opportunity to focus on the emergency-communications capability within your community while interacting with NTS nets. Although the main SET weekend this year is October 6 -7, local and section-wide exercises may be held throughout the fall season.
To participate in this year’s emergency test, contact your local ARRL emergency coordinator or net manager to find out the details for your area. ARRL Sections, ARES teams and nets may conduct their exercises anytime during September through December. If you don’t know who to call, please touch base with your ARRL Section Manager for assistance.
