BULLETIN 344 MGT: ACS/RACES Plans 2/3
Release Date: September 19, l994
For obvious reasons, a city and its county cannot develop
communications plans independent of one another, any more than
can a state and its counties. Such plans are the basis of
emergency communications mutual aid and are jointly developed in
a spirit of cooperation. For that reason they bear signatures of
approval or concurrence by officials of both jurisdictions. The
purpose is for each jurisdiction's plan to provide cooperation
with the other -- not for one to dominate the other.
Nowhere does this discussion, or any ACS - RACES plan,
intend to infer that a state can direct a county or that a county
can direct a city in the application of an ACS or RACES program.
Plans need be compiled and issued in a spirit of mutual benefit
and cooperation , working together to provide emergency
communications when needed. An aspect of this is a standardized
plan format which makes cooperation easier. A further aspect is
that concurring signatures notifies other governments that an
OFFICIAL action was taken to approve the plan.
Emergency communications plans that fail to reflect the
necessary inter-relationships described above are almost
certainly doomed to failure. Unfortunately, history dictates that
there have been some otherwise responsible government officials
who believed that all of their communication was as close as
their telephone, hence they failed to develop an emergency
communications reserve and then suffered the debilitating results
personally.
(Continues next bulletin)
Note: A sample model plan is available on request with a SASE
9x11 mailer with 75 cents postage to non-government or out of
state requests. For California jurisdicitions the Auxiliary
Communications Service personnel in Sacramento offer to provide a
custom plan for any city or county emergency communications
reserve coordinator.

All times are in Universal Time (UT). Characters preceding begin, max,

All times associated with x-ray flares (ex. flares which produce
associated x-ray bursts) refer to the begin, max, and end times of the
x-rays. Flares which are not associated with x-ray signatures use the
optical observations to determine the begin, max, and end times.
Acronyms used to identify sweeps and optical phenomena include:
II = Type II Sweep Frequency Event
III = Type III Sweep
IV = Type IV Sweep
V = Type V Sweep
Continuum = Continuum Radio Event
Loop = Loop Prominence System,
Spray = Limb Spray,
Surge = Bright Limb Surge,
EPL = Eruptive Prominence on the Limb.

BULLETIN 342 MISC: NIFC Boise
Release Date: September 5, l994
The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC, formerly
Boise Interagency Fire Center) located in Boise, Idaho is a joint
venture of the several agencies: USFS (U.S. Forest Service), BLM
(Bureau of Land Management), BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs),
USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), NPS (National Park
Service) and NWS (National Weather Service).
In addition to fires it has also been active in floods,
earthquakes and other disasters such as Hurricane Andrew, Mount
St. Helens volcanic eruption and the Northridge Quake. For the
latter the State Office of Emergency Services ordered virtually
everything from the Boise radio warehouse - hundreds of
portables, repeaters, control stations, fixed links, battery
packs and antennas.
The NIFC Telecommunications Branch has a large staff of
administrators and technicians for communications assistance. It
stocks equipment in caches, which consist VHF and UHF repeater
and radio kits, some satellite equipment, radio telephone
interconnect kits and electronic key telephone systems.
When the State has exhausted its cache of kits and
transportable resources it may place a request for Federal
assistance. Because of the size of California, two NIFC-type
warehouses [in CA] duplicate some of the equipment stored further
away in Boise. Requests are placed with the nearest Federal zone
for delivery to the requesting agency. If Zone cannot fulfill the
request it is forwarded to NIFC in Boise. The only costs
associated with the use of the Federal equipment is shipping, any
lost equipment, batteries, and the daily cost of a technician if
required. To make the latter unnecessary, several people in
California have been certified through NIFC training.
The center teaches a highly regarded two-week training
course in Boise on the Incident Command System, Communications
Unit Organization and staffing, theory and equipment,
accountability, incident planning and demobilization. It includes
both tabletop incident practice and hands-on field work with
actual equipment. Completing the training enables one to be a
fully qualified Communications Unit Leader.
Suggested by an article in the "APCO BULLETIN" by Brent Finster,
Communications Director for Aspen-Pitkin County Communications
Center, Aspen, Colorado.

Subject : Re: PLSE INCLUDE SASE FOR DIRECT DX QSL CARDS!!!
I'm new to amateur radio (actually, I haven't got a license yet - I just
got the results to my theory exam last sat) - and I was wondering about
these QSL cards...
Do they _have_ to be cards? Can't we fill out an aerogram (?) instead, and
post it?
You know, like people who have laserprinters, can print pretty good b/w
pictures onto a sheet of paper and the like... The cost (airmail) would be
considerably lower than a card too (I think)
Maybe I'm just lazy...
PS: Whilst I'm talking about amateur radio, where I come from, they've
recently introduced a restricted (ie no-code) license - where you're limited
to the VHF bands - how far can one reach with VHF anyway?
