-===== Initial Actions in the Event of an Emergency ===== 
-In the event of a significant emergency affecting communications across the Sunshine Coast, all amateur radio operators should, __if it is safe to do so__: 
  
-  * Monitor the VE7RXZ repeater on VHF 147.220 MHz +600 T100.0 for traffic or requests for assistance from VE7SCE, if able also monitor VE7SCK 442.650 T100.0. +==== Initial Actions in the Event of an Emergency ===== 
-  * If able, also monitor simplex VHF: 146.490 MHz and/or 146.565 MHz for traffic or request for assistance from VE7SCE.+In the event of a significant emergency affecting communications across the Sunshine Coast, all amateur radio operators should: 
 + 
 +  * Monitor the VE7RXZ repeater on VHF 147.220 MHz +0.6 T100.0 for traffic or requests for assistance from VE7SCE. 
 +  * If VE7RXZ is not operational, monitor 147.220 with 100Hz tone (without any offset) (Net controllers monitor  147.820 for operators that are operating in duplex and let them know to go to simplex on 147.220 T100.0)  
 +  * If able, also monitor VE7SCK 442.650 +5.0 T100.0. 
 +  * If VE7SCK is not operational, monitor 442.650 with 100Hz tone (without any offset) (Net controllers monitor  447.650 for operators that are operating in duplex and let them know to go to simplex on 442.650 T100.0)  
 +  * If able, also monitor simplex VHF: 1: 146.430 MHz, 2: 147.540 MHz, 3: 146.490 MHz, 146.565 MHz for traffic or request for assistance from VE7SCE.
   * If able, monitor EMBC HF frequencies for information (see [[#HF_Emergency_Frequencies|below]]).   * If able, monitor EMBC HF frequencies for information (see [[#HF_Emergency_Frequencies|below]]).
  
-**Note:** It is unlikely that VE7SCE will use HF for local communications on the Sunshine Coast, however relays may be required for another station on frequency and operators should monitor EMBC or BC Public Service Net HF frequencies if able to do so. +<WRAP info round center 80%>
