- SUBJECT: COMM RESOURCES ORDER FORM
-
- Reference Bulletins 146 and 147 on this subject, the use of this
- form perhaps needs clarification after reading the following in
- an Amateur Radio club monthly publication: "Ye editor begs to
- differ in one respect. In the fire, my ARES jacket and hat and
- Sheriff's ID card passed me through all roadblocks. There wasn't
- time for the nicety of getting such a form nor handing it to a
- roadblock official to read! Bulletin 147 lists 25 items of The
- Form, most of which it seems would become outdated at the first
- shift of resources and far better covered by training,
- experience and Net Control! Oh well."
-
- We agree with what that newsletter editor had to say because he
- is correct when viewed from a strictly local perspective. Note
- that he mentioned the use of a Sheriff's ID card and not a non-
- government ID card. Good! The purpose of the communications
- resources order form is when resources are brought in under the
- mutual aid system where fire suppression, law enforcement, comm-
- unications and other resources may be traveling hundreds of
- miles. It is not intended, of course, for local incidents. We
- regret any confusion that this form may have created.
