[Ares-races] Safety Vests

Wed, 17 Jul 2002 22:41:09 -0800

No there is not - however, green is being recognized as a standard color for
members of Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) (see FEMA web site for
more info)

The ARES badge is standard and orange is a standard color for emergency
stuff.  Additionally ball caps or white hard hats could have the ARES decal
placed on them.  By staying with the ARES decal we are generating a
"standard" which will quickly be recognized by others.  In addition "COMMS"
or "ARES" could be placed on the vest in reflective letters - there are many
companies who make vest with your choice of letters on them

Hope this helps

This brings me to a question that I have been wanting to ask for quit some
time.  Is there a standard unique color generally accepted to identify that
the wearer is part of an emergency communications team? How about decals and
patches,or art work other than available ARES RACES, which IMO are not
readily recognizable for their meaning by others looking for us.--73

: What is a safety vest? What pops in my mind is a "hunter's orange" vest.
Try
: WalMart or KMart. Less than 10 bucks. A sporting goods stor may even have
the
: ones with the reflective stripes.
