[SARES] Fw: [Scc-ec] Drill Info - July 23 Drill

All,
Here is the scenario for the ARES-RACES county wide drill for Saturday July 
23 between 2 PM & 4 PM.  As far as Larry is concerned this is not a surprise 
drill.

James,
    There was some confusion this evening on what the responsibilities of 
the various 'net control' positions.  There was questioning as to what the 
various operator were to do.  At your leisure could you please provide a 
quick (25 words or less) training.

> Some Info about the upcoming drill:
>
> The quarterly County-wide ARES/RACES Drill will occur on July 23, 2005, 
> from 2-4 pm.  The drill scenario will be a wildfire, which we will call a 
> "snowstorm" while talking on the radio.  There will be conditions in each 
> of the participating cities where the wind is blowing very strongly, 
> driving the wildfire (oops, I should have said snowstorm!) southward in 
> each city. These very strong conditions will be called "blizzards". The 
> cities are to advise County of the status of their city, and what they 
> have learned about the snowstorm and blizzard.
>
> I recommend that each city put hams in the field for this event, under a 
> local city RACES activation for training purposes. One task that can be 
> done is to send hams to strategic road intersections, requiring them to 
> count traffic moving into and/or away from the proposed snowstorm area. 
> This will give the responders a task that would be of value in a real 
> event, and give them a chance to operate in the field under simulated 
> emergency conditions. You might even explore working with your city fire 
> department to see what you might be able to develop as a service to them 
> under such conditions. Please let me know if you have any success working 
> out a plan with your local fire department.
>
> At the county, we will be staffing the Message Net, the Command Net, the 
> Packet Net, and the EOC-TO-EOC Net. Please try to send us RIMS Event 
> Reports, as well as Situation Reports by packet, using Outpost and 
> PacRims.
