- Subject: OPS - RACES in action - non emergency events
-
- Here are some of the events utilized in one area to help
- citizens become familiar with RACES and to train RACES
- participants:
- a. Westminister City RACES provided communications at the
- Blessed Sacramento Church Festival, with RACES mutual aid
- supplied by Orange County, and the cities of Cypress and
- Huntington Beach. 25 operators participated in 200 person hours
- over 3 days at a festival that drew over 25,000 people.
- b. County requested exclusive RACES at the Amateur Radio
- booth at the County Fair for two days of first weekend. If not
- granted, RACES members will still participate, but the Radio
- Officers will not officially schedule member participation.
- c. Iranian Festival. We plan to setup communications posts
- throughout the public park to provide the Iranians with an easy
- means for reporting and finding lost children, as well as other
- situtions. Because of the limited number of members who can
- participate due to its being Easter Sunday, we will most likely
- request mutual aid from City RACES groups.
- d. Duck & Cover Drill, April 5. This is a State OES drill,
- at 10:30 a.m., probably on 7230 kHz. We will probably want to
- activate on 2 meters or 6 meters, as well, to communicate with
- City EOC's.
- e. Mass Casualty Drill, April 22.
- f. Earthquake Expo at Main Place Mall in Santa Ana. We will
- work this event in shifts and invite City RACES groups to display
- their promotional material as well.
- Those are just a few training venues for the RACES. eom

- "One purpose of these bulletins is to assist the civil defense or
- emergency management agency in the use of communications
- volunteers as unpaid staff. Learning how to best use them can be
- very beneficial. For more information call or write: Stan Harter
- or Cary Mangum 916-262-1600; OES ACS Program, Telecommunications
- Division, 2800 Meadowview Rd, Sacramento, Ca 95832."
