  1. Callout Procedures Al Penney, VO1NO

  2. General • County officials, in conjunction with REMC, will decide when emergency response is required. • If necessary, REMC will advise Al VO1NO and/or Lysle VE1BZE that Amateurs are required. • Al and/or Lysle will notify Amateurs.

  3. Info for REMC to Pass On • Nature and location of emergency; • Location of ECC and deployed site/sites; • Specific telecommunications support required (nets, number of personnel etc.); • Points of contact; • Expected duration of callout; and • Any other pertinent information.

  4. Call Out Plan • Al and/or Lysle will initiate callout. • Phone will be best method, but radio may also be used. • Therefore imperative that Amateurs monitor Standby Net frequencies!

  5. Manning Considerations • More technically experienced Amateurs will likely deploy first to establish stations. • Preferred manning is 3 Amateurs per site. • This may not be possible however! • Must also consider likely duration of emergency – will need fresh relief crews.

  6. What can YOU do?

  7. What can YOU do? • Have “Go Bag” ready at all times. • If emergency seems imminent, monitor telephone and Standby Net frequencies. • Ensure you are physically and mentally fit to deploy. • Know how to use your equipment. • PRACTICE WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED!

  8. Operating Scenarios • Several different scenarios for providing communications support: • Short term tactical support with HT e.g.: assisting at a Santa Clause Parade; • Operating out of fully equipped station e.g.: ECC. • Ride along in a vehicle e.g.: damage assessment. • Operating out of non-equipped building e.g.: Emergency Shelter. • Deploying to remote field location e.g.: airplane crash site.

  9. Go Kits • Tailor your go-kits to your needs, equipment, expected assignments and duration. • Consider function: • Type of incident • Type and duration of assignment • Location of kit: • Carried on person • Carried in vehicle • Cached at home or work • Non-cached equipment
