INFO: ALL RACES OPERATORS IN CA (ALLCA: OFFICIAL)
ALL AMATEURS U.S. (@ USA: INFORMATION)

RACESBUL.215 DATE: March 30, 1992
SUBJECT: MGT - What is a "responder"?
QUESTION: What is a responder?
REPLY: When we use the term "responder" in the Bulletins
and other emergency services and public safety references, we
mean those paid and volunteer people whose primary duty it is to
report for duty when required or requested to do so. It may be a
frequent, if not daily, activity. Most RACES personnel are
considered to be or are responders. Where one responds is not
important. In other words, a responder may go to the office,
Emergency Operations Center, duty station, or to some other
assignment in the field. Some RACES and ARES people may not be
considered responders because they may serve in a consultant,
maintenance, advisory, home station, or in other non-response
roles. A responder is trained, equipped, and physically prepared
for the response role to be performed.
State responders are approved by this agency when and where
to respond. This is generally true of any volunteer attached to
any government agency. ---KH6GBX
