Radio Amateurs are providing communication services to and from the affected areas in and around Acapulco, Mexico.

On the morning of Wednesday, 165 mile-per-hour winds from Hurricane Otis knocked out all communications and unleashed a nightmare scenario in Acapulco.

Additionally, hams in the Acapulco area are trying to locate civilians using their own resources，such as choosing the GPS two way radio. Some of these hams are operating their equipment on battery power, while others have access to generators. Accessing many areas in the region has been a challenge due to the amount of debris blocking travel.

Galvan also reported that hams have been providing communication between state agencies and their field personnel deployed in the Acapulco area. "At least three state agencies have hams on their teams. We have been communicating their messages to their central coordination via HF repeaters. Requests for specific requirements have been escalated to the support teams. Air medical services have been directed to areas that were not being attended," he said.
