RACESBUL.260 DATE: Feb. 8, 1993
SUBJECT: OPS - More opportunities to use your RACES
Contrary to popular belief, it does not require a disaster,
war, or even an emergency to use your RACES and other
communications volunteers in government service. From the reports
we received in the last thirty days, here are typical official
duty activities by these volunteers:
- Maintaining personnel records, processing applications,
preparing ID cards, taking ID photos.
- Antenna work party, installing communications equipment,
maintaining communications equipment, driving government vehicles
to pickup and deliver communications equipment, courier service,
and drive and staff comm vans.
- Watching and reporting river rise readings during a storm.
- Forest fire communications.
- Reprogramming computers. Improving packet communications.
- Planning and conducting conferences and meetings.
- Hospital nets. Weekly net duties at the emergency management
office.
- Writing and distributing information, training, and standard
operating procedures.
- Training others. Self-improvement training.
In summary, there are many skills to use and opportun-
ities to be met. While not all volunteers will participate
in such activities, there are those who find such events
rewarding and will serve with enthusiasm.
