- FROM: CA STATE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES (W6HIR @ WA6NWE.CA)

- RACESBUL.229 DATE: July 6, 1992
- SUBJECT: MGT: Radio Officer Liaison
-
- A major factor in the decline of a radio response unit (whatever
- its name or however it is attached) is the Radio Officer who does
- not REGULARLY stop by the government office to which he or she
- is attached.
-
- Such on-going visits are for a four-fold purpose:
- 1. To leave an activity summary. This could be a quick verbal or
- a concise write-up, depending on the person who is to receive it.
- 2. To provide RACES bulletins on topics of interest or as
- applicable.
- 3. To just ask, "How can I help out?"
- 4. To gather information that will be of interest to the radio
- response unit members; in other words, for broadcast on the net,
- in a newsletter, etc.
-
- The busier the administrator, the greater the potential need for
- a Radio Officer capable of providing (by his/her own ability or
- those of others) clerical, administrative, management, computer
- graphics, data base or word processing talent, editorial ability;
- all skills other than just those of the emergency radio operator.
- Observing these needs comes from frequent visits with a "how can
- I help" attitude in mind at all times. Few busy people will turn
- away skilled and competent help, quietly offered and efficiently
- implemented with management skills.
-
- Certainly, doing this can take time and effort, but the rewards
- to the Radio Officer, as well as the agency, are immeasurable. It
- is a real win-win situation when carefully studied and
- implemented.
