Willow found a great introductory web page, and I am pleased to publish a link to it here:
alertfind.com/amateur-radio-and-emergency-communications
This web page concludes with a list of many interesting links to other web sites about amateur radio. The first one,
which I will repeat here, is this page, published by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL):

My thanks to Carla and Willow for providing the inspiration for this section!

Johnson County Emergency Management has joined Project Lifesaver.
We have provided a page of Weather Spotter Safety information (from the
National Weather Service) to remind you of proper safety procedures when you are engaged in spotting severe
weather for the Johnson County Skywarn® Net. Please read this information
before you become active in Weather Spotting, and review it every month or two during the severe weather season!

Let's all give it a try! Keep the radio on, and respond when somebody announces "KØXYZ monitoring".
Most importantly, respond to visitors to our community who are looking for directions or just somebody to
talk to as they pass through town. We can have a much more enjoyable, open and friendly hobby if we all will simply
have QSOs with other local hams or travelers as they pass by on the Interstate. It doesn't have to be a half-hour
"rag chew" -- short "How are you today?", or "Can you believe this weather?" QSOs are often quite adequate.
So, how about it? We'd love to hear you on 2 meters!

It is no secret that the on-the-air behavior of hams, especially in pileups, has gotten worse in the last few years.
Unpleasant, uncivil, impolite behavior of our fellow hams reduces the enjoyment of our hobby.
It does not have to be that way nor should it be. Impolite behavior is counter-productive and simply inconsistent
with the aim of our hobby, to have fun.
Just as we work to improve our technical skills, we should all aspire to hold ourselves to the highest ethical
operating standards. This Code is a reminder of the high ideals of which we are all capable.
We plan to use the Sunday evening net to stress test the system prior to having it in active use for the August Meeting.
Links to the video conference may be found near the top on the primary ICARC web page.
Clicking on the Sunday Evening Net Link will take you to the
Local & HF Nets page where the actual link to the video conference meeting.
Please let us know how it works for you.
