Msgid: $RACESBUL.210
TO: ALL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCIES/OFFICES VIA THE ARS
INFO: ALL RACES OPERATORS IN CA (ALLCA: OFFICIAL)
ALL AMATEURS U.S. (@ USA: INFORMATION)
FROM: CA STATE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES (W6HIR @ WA6NWE.CA)
2800 Meadowview Rd., Sacramento, CA 95832 (916)427-4281
RACESBUL.210 DATE: Feb. 24, 1992
SUBJECT: OPS Demobilization - Part 3/4
Assignment of amateurs to the next shift can be made on a
stand-by basis as the incident begins to wind down. Conduct
periodic briefings and ask amateurs to sign up for shifts on an
"on-call" basis, making themselves available from home and
subject to call out if needed. Amateurs should check-in to the
RESOURCE NET at least 30 minutes prior to their assigned shift
time to determine if their assistance is still needed.
Secure RESOURCE Nets that are no longer practical and ask
amateurs who are willing to volunteer to check-in on the TACTICAL
Net frequency. As the incident is secured, radio traffic will
continue to diminish and listening amateurs will hear less and
less incident-related traffic. Encourage nets to go to a non-
directed status; this will free up repeaters from directed net
use and will allow them to be used for normal traffic. Relations
between member-supported repeaters and ARES officials may become
strained if repeaters are in use by ARES or RACES and no traffic
is being passed. Turn the repeaters back to the supporting clubs
as soon as practical and thank club officials for their use
during the incident.
Gather any notes and observations you may have concerning
the incident and make them available for the upcoming critique.
A critique is beneficial to determine what went right, as well as
wrong, during the incident. If conducting the critique yourself,
allow ample time for amateurs to vent feelings but attempt to
keep the meeting positive with a "what can we do to make the next
incident better" outlook. Consider publishing minutes of the
critique to allow other auxiliary communications groups to learn
from your experience.
(To be concluded in the next Bulletin)
