Subject: Sign-ups are Open for the 9/24 County-wide Comm Exercise

 

Sign-ups are now open for the Sept 24th County-wide Communications Exercise.
Anyone with a current Santa Clara County ARES/RACES DSW registration is
welcome to attend.

 

This is a county-wide exercise.  It's a chance to get out into the field and
practice many of the activities you've learned about in recent classes.
You'll receive an activation over the air, travel to a designated location,
and receive an assignment (or two) that should be both challenging and fun.

 

The various exercises and assignments are currently being designed and we
have some interesting activities in mind.  But some will be a surprise - so
no details right now.  MACs and MITs will also be able to receive
evaluations for MAC qualifications.

 

The event will last most of the day - from 8am to 4pm - to give folks time
to complete two different activities or to allow some scheduling flexibility
for folks who only want to complete one activity.

 

We also plan to introduce a little healthy competition into the mix.  So
everyone is encouraged to come out and help boost their city's score.

 

We're currently planning the details.   But we need input from you because a
lot will depend on how many people will be attending as participants AND on
how many people will help out as staff.  

 

So if you plan to attend, please go to the county ARES/RACES website and
sign up as soon as possible.  This will give our team an idea of what to
expect and how many activities they can support.  Of course, please don't
sign up unless you plan to attend and please remove yourself if you later
discover that you have to back out.

 

As we get closer to the event, we'll send out more information to the folks
that have signed up.  But that's it for now.
