The Hurricane Simulation
Westchester County Communications Officer Sandy Fried, an Amateur Radio operator and ODES staff member, had
recently attended a training seminar at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Part of the training was a simulation using
data from the Hurricane of 1938 that caused major losses on Long Island and in Westchester. The texts of the simulated
bulletins, forecasts, discussions and strike probabilities along with the hurricane’s track were sent home with the seminar
attendees. We named the simulated hurricane after Sandy, who incidentally was nine years old during the real Hurricane
of 1938.

These texts were used as the drill stimulus. They were time-shifted to simulate land-fall around 6pm on Saturday,
October 4th. Working backward from this time, we used these texts to generate and automatically update a World
Wide Web status page (http://www.weca.org/SET) and send email to the Westchester ARES/RACES email reflector
and fax to the County Emergency Operations center at the times that the National Weather Service would normally have
sent them.
