Ocean Ridge Town Councilman Rich Lucibella is a firm believer in emergency preparedness, proving it by training with amateur radio operators during a Wellington Radio Club exercise, themed ‘When All Else Fails’ that took place June 28 and 29. Lucibella is a key member of a team that has developed methods of sending out emergency communications when infrastructure is destroyed or overloaded. As the sole known radio amateur in Ocean Ridge, he most likely will be the town’s only link to the outside world in the event of a major hurricane.
