Rough translation (mine, apologies if I didn't get this entirely correct):
"On September 19th, 1985, at 7:19am, there was a major earthquake, affecting a large portion of the telecommunications infrastructure, and causing major damage to hospital installations. Emergency services were overwhelmed by the magnitude and extent of the damage.
The civilian population demonstrated resilience, turning normal everyday citizens into unsung heroes.
In this context the ham radio amateurs realized communications work to mitigate the distress of thousands of families who were unable to communicate with their families. "
