[ARRL-OK] ARES meeting in Tulsa

[Mark D. Conklin N7XYO]

Ok... Sorry  for the short hand. Just trying to not use up all the
Internet.  :)

Bear with me now for a little "plain speech" fun  :)

Plain Speech is a result of HSPD-5 and HSPD-8 brought foruth ICS, NIMMS
and the NRP.  Which were the result work from IACP and NFPA. Even OSHA and
EPA were involved in the creation ICS.

After 9/11 various federal agencies are now overseen by another layer of
goverment know as DHS, this includes FEMS, FBI, USGC, ICE,and many others.

And in ICS, we now have IAP, and EFS.  Heck now we have a multi page book
to keep track of all the new acronyms.... but it you get lost in all
this... don't for get your GPS  :)

Never-the-less come to the meeting on Sept 5th and we'll make it all clear.

    I want to know also [NGO], Dean.    One of the latest needs for
    Interoperability during emergencies is 'plain language' -- no 10 codes or
    acronyms!  Spell it out if you want to communicate - others may not
know SET
    or ECOM either.
