HOW CURRENT IS YOUR NIMS TRAINING?

By David Coursey, N5FDL

All ARES/RACES/ACS operators should take ICS-100, ICS-200, ICS-700, ICS-800, and the new ICS-802 course that describes the communication functions in the National Response Framework. Many of us should probably retake the ICS-100 and ICS-200 courses that were updated last summer. The ICS-802 course is new as of last August, so it is new to almost everyone.
If the course allows you to download the final exam questions, please do so. I will be much easier to follow the course and pass the exam, as the questions are sometimes unclear.

ARE YOU PERSONALLY PREPARED FOR AN EMERGENCY?

The American Red Cross can provide you with a lot of information to help prepare you in the event of an emergency.

“A simple kit of emergency supplies is invaluable in a disaster situation. Here's what the American Red Cross and Federal Emergency Management Agency recommend keeping handy in a large backpack, container or duffel bag.”

By clicking on this link you can find information on what should be in your personal “Emergency Kit” that just might save your and your loved ones lives.

In the future, I will be providing additional information on health, safety, and emergency communications on this CARS website that should be of interest to members, and visitors alike.

Your comments are welcome….

Repeater Etiquette & Tips

I found this on a New Jersey club's site. There are quite a few ideas that are worth reading. Some of the more technical details don't apply to our repeater, but many of the concepts do...or should.

What do you think?

Here's another article on the Amador club's jazzy new website:

The document posted on our site is a heavily modified version of the one on the 10-70 groups (New Jersey) page.
