Bobby, Thank you for your good summary. 

?? 

?I will make it available to the DPPOA Board this evening. 

I certainly agree with your steps, and note?#5 in particular?that there will have to be a consistent volunteer performance to keep a" team" as well as volunteer training current.? This may be a problem if history serves as a lesson. 

? 

Thank you for your consideration and support, I will keep you advised. 

? 

Best Regads, 

Peter?

Good Morning Peter, 

? 

As a follow-up to our excellent conversation yesterday, it is important to put our discussion into action.? I understand your concerns regarding liability and the ineffective way it seems to be addressed.? Primarily, if you act in good faith and you do not go beyond the scope of your training, you will not be held liable under the Tort Claims Act.? This will not prevent someone from entering into a law suit against you, the County, Drum Point POA or anyone else they choose to sue.? Before a resolution to the liability concern can be addressed, there are several things which must be completed. 

1. ??? An overarching CERT Plan must be developed.? There are several members of the CERT volunteer community which have been traditional stalwarts (which includes you) of this group.? You identified Bill Hackett and Bill Smith, I recall Bill Roggenbrodt.? An effort to have a small group get together to develop this plan must occur.? Christina can lead this effort along with assistance from others in Emergency Management, but without help from the CERT group it is unlikely to be successful. 

2. ??? Roles and Responsibilities must be identified which provides the CERT personnel and the County a basis for utilization. 

3. ??? Authorities must be identified. 

4. ??? The mechanism for deployment, what it means and doesn?t mean will be identified. 

5. ??? How the program is going to be maintained is important to the effort. 

? 

We have information from the state and once the plan is developed, it can be vetted through the County Attorney?s office to ensure everyone is covered in an acceptable manner.? I would like to understand the hold harmless agreement and how it protects each party. 

? 

Respectfully, 


Bobby

Subject: [MDC-EC] Upcoming Public Service Event

Hi, this is just a quick heads-up to let you know that the Rock & Roll
Marathon here in DC is asking for our help next month (16 March).  The event
really seems to want our help, I've heard from the National Medical
Director, the Medical Manager for this event, and the race's technical
coordinator. 

The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 16.  We'd be setting up most
stations around 6am - 6:30.  We should be secured from all operations around
1pm.  If you can only afford to volunteer for part of the time, we can still
probably work you in.

They've asked us to staff the medical tents and aid stations, along with
NetControl, DC/HSEMA, and a couple of others. We'll need about 20-22
operators to make this work effectively.

I expect that we'll operate this using 2M repeaters.  An HT can work from
most of the sites but would certainly benefit from a more powerful antenna.

Eventually, I hope that we can coordinate signup on the Marathon's web site,
http://runrocknroll.competitor.com/usa/volunteer  It still needs to be setup
to accept radio operators.

Please forward this to anyone that you think might be interested in helping.

Anyone who can volunteer to help or needs more info can contact me at
jack.gunther at comcast.net 

Thanks,

Jack Gunther

I'll be there.  

Could someone loan me a powerpole crimping tool?  Got power pole connectors for all my radios also last week and now will be trying to make my gear interconnectable with others.  

I have been busy the last couple of days.  Thought I would be ready for the CARA net tonight but didn't make it.  Assembled and erected a CushCraft 10 element 2 mtr beam with a rotor today.  Need a little troubleshooting tomorrow to make it work.  Didn't assemble the driven element exactly right.  Have the solution, just need to get on the roof and make a minor adjustment.  Then I should be able to hit the Sunderland repeater.



I have been working a little HF PSK 31 on 20 meters.  Waiting for a cable to arrive for my 2 mtr rig.  

Also installing a new (actually old) computer that can be dedicated to the ham shack.  

Later this week I have a solar panel and a wind generator coming.  (Tax refunds are sure handy when you have projects lined up!!)  Want to have the ham shack off the grid all the time and portable for fun and emergencies.

15-Day Engagement Period for Review and Feedback: 
Resource Typing Definition and Job Title and Position Qualifications for 
Incident Management, Search and Rescue and Mass Care 

 

Today, FEMA releases fifteen resource typing definitions for Incident Management, Search and Rescue and for Mass Care for a 15-day national engagement period to gather feedback. This guidance provides a standardized set of criteria for use by the whole community when inventorying resources and sustaining or building resources needed to deliver associated core capabilities. The resource typing definitions and/or job title and position qualifications are:

 

Incident Management

?        Liaison Officer

?        Safety Officer

 

Search and Rescue

?        Technical Squad Officer

?        Technical Rescue Technician

?        Search and Rescue Branch Director

?        Helicopter Search and Rescue Crew Chief

?        Helicopter Search and Rescue Pilot

?        Helicopter Search and Rescue Technician

?        Structural Collapse Search Technician

?        Structural Collapse Rescue Squad Officer

?        Structural Collapse Search Squad Officer

 

Mass Care

?        Shower Unit

?        Laundry Unit

?        Temporary Child Care Support Service Team

?        Temporary Child Care Support Service Team Leader

                        

 

FEMA developed these resource typing and position qualifications definitions in collaboration with emergency management and public safety professionals and subject matter experts. These stakeholders suggested guidance for specific overall functions, components, capabilities, and order specifications for this resource.

 

This guidance addresses requests that are made under a variety of mutual aid scenarios from automatic aid to that implemented in declared disasters through Emergency Management Assistance Compact. 

 

This guidance uses the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to provide a common and standard understanding about the tools and resources needed to sustain, build and deliver the core capabilities necessary to achieve a secure and resilient nation. For more information on NIMS and its implementation, visit FEMA?s website: www.fema.gov/national-incident-management-system <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTMwMjI3LjE2MDM5NzAxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEzMDIyNy4xNjAzOTcwMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MDQ1MDU2JmVtYWlsaWQ9amltdGV0bG93QGNoZXNhcGVha2UubmV0JnVzZXJpZD1qaW10ZXRsb3dAY2hlc2FwZWFrZS5uZXQmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&http://www.fema.gov/national-incident-management-system>

15-Day Engagement Period for Review and Feedback: 
Resource Typing Definition and Job Title and Position Qualifications for 
Incident Management, Search and Rescue and Mass Care 

 

Today, FEMA releases fifteen resource typing definitions for Incident Management, Search and Rescue and for Mass Care for a 15-day national engagement period to gather feedback. This guidance provides a standardized set of criteria for use by the whole community when inventorying resources and sustaining or building resources needed to deliver associated core capabilities. The resource typing definitions and/or job title and position qualifications are:

 

Incident Management

*        Liaison Officer

*        Safety Officer

 

Search and Rescue

*        Technical Squad Officer

*        Technical Rescue Technician

*        Search and Rescue Branch Director

*        Helicopter Search and Rescue Crew Chief

*        Helicopter Search and Rescue Pilot

*        Helicopter Search and Rescue Technician

*        Structural Collapse Search Technician

*        Structural Collapse Rescue Squad Officer

*        Structural Collapse Search Squad Officer

 

Mass Care

*        Shower Unit

*        Laundry Unit

*        Temporary Child Care Support Service Team

*        Temporary Child Care Support Service Team Leader

                        

 

FEMA developed these resource typing and position qualifications definitions in collaboration with emergency management and public safety professionals and subject matter experts. These stakeholders suggested guidance for specific overall functions, components, capabilities, and order specifications for this resource.

 

This guidance addresses requests that are made under a variety of mutual aid scenarios from automatic aid to that implemented in declared disasters through Emergency Management Assistance Compact. 

 

This guidance uses the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to provide a common and standard understanding about the tools and resources needed to sustain, build and deliver the core capabilities necessary to achieve a secure and resilient nation. For more information on NIMS and its implementation, visit FEMA?s website: www.fema.gov/national-incident-management-system <http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTMwMjI3LjE2MDM5NzAxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDEzMDIyNy4xNjAzOTcwMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MDQ1MDU2JmVtYWlsaWQ9amltdGV0bG93QGNoZXNhcGVha2UubmV0JnVzZXJpZD1qaW10ZXRsb3dAY2hlc2FwZWFrZS5uZXQmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&http://www.fema.gov/national-incident-management-system>

"Software defined radios (yes, these are - next time you hook it up to your
laptop watch how many updates are needed or stuff in the back ground) have a
feature embedded where they go "home" to their servers and upload whatever
was put into them, mostly silently.

 

Several US companies have complained to the Federal government regarding the
Chinese equipment presenting whitepapers and full technical documents
showing that stuff from China has embedded software and that our
communications systems can be compromised at any time. This means simple
amateur radios, routers, signal devices in government and commercial
installations - banking and infrastructure.

 

It was once said; send a thousand tourists to their beach, by the next day
we will have a thousand grains of their sand thus the keys to their
castles."

 

Be warned that Chinese radios can become useless for certain roles unless
fully programmed beforehand with tactical frequencies.  If one is asked to
change to a tactical channel it nearly impossible to program onsite without
using a computer.

As has happened many times in years past, over 200 Amateur Radio operators
participated in communications for the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 15,
2013. Unlike prior challenging situations such as very warm weather for the
runners or other weather-related challenges, this year's marathon will be
remembered for the bombings that took place at the finish line. Despite this
heinous act, professional first responders, medical volunteers from the
American Red Cross that staffed the route, and Amateur Radio operators
performed magnificently in the face of adversity.

"Within minutes, cell phone systems became overloaded and making phone calls
and text messages was difficult. Amateur Radio operators performed
communication duties under duress and performed admirably. No Amateur Radio
volunteers were injured on the course in this terrible act," said Steve
Schwarm, W3EVE, who is the Amateur Radio Course Communication Coordinator
and associated with a consortium of clubs and groups known as Marathon
Amateur Radio Communications ( <http://www.mmra.org/marc/> MARC).

"At the finish line net control, which was only 400 feet from the initial
blast, we heard the explosion. I poked my head outside to confirm what I
thought it was and saw the white smoke. We immediately knew what had
happened and commenced a roll call of all ham operators and medical tents.
State Police authorities initially ordered us to lock down and post a ham
for security watch outside the net control trailer. Thankfully none of our
people were hurt," said Paul Topolski, W1SEX, Amateur Radio Finish Line
Coordinator.

Following the explosion and roll call, Topolski stated that they began
pulling together updates and sent the information via the Massachusetts
Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) Web-EOC software tool and provided
updates via Amateur Radio. Shortly after sending a few updates both Boston
Police and Massachusetts State Police gave the order for the tent area to be
evacuated. "In my mind, the course end of things is where a lot of work
needed to happen as runners eventually needed to be stopped, congregated and
transported to safety and staging areas," Topolski said. "At the finish
line, our job was to check on the safety of our people, provide those
initial updates and evacuate per police instructions. Three of our Amateur
Radio operators redeployed to the Boston Marathon Course Net Control
Center."

Across the course outside of the finish line after the bombings occurred,
first aid stations were consolidated to larger first aid stations to pool
runners for pickup and to keep runners warm as there were enhanced tents
along the route where runners could be kept warm and hydrated. At the
Heartbreak Hill first aid station, amateur operators had a complete base
station setup, including a computer, and were prepared to handle health and
welfare traffic as required. Several shelters were set up along the route at
churches and schools, and Amateur Radio operators from secured first aid
stations went to those shelters, providing communications in those areas
until runners were moved out of their locations.

"My role at the request of Steve, W3EVE, as event organizer before the race
was to shadow the course medical tent coordinator for the Red Cross, Kandi
Finch," said Rob Macedo, KD1CY, who is also the Eastern Massachusetts ARES
Section Emergency Coordinator. "It was a challenging position but all
organizers on both the Amateur Radio side and Red Cross side said things
went well in coordinating during normal race conditions and particularly
after the bombings."

At course net control, which was away from the bombings, ham operators
controlled their nets calmly and professionally while also expressing an
appropriate level of urgency. Over a dozen amateurs at the net control
center pooled together to announce messages and keep status of changes along
the course route as required.

Net Control Center Coordinator, Karen Brothers, K1KEB, kept in constant
contact with MEMA, where Terry Stader, KA8SCP, was stationed. Stader became
the MEMA 'Ops' point person at the State Emergency Operations Center as
runners were transported from the shelters to other staging locations. From
his location at the EOC, Stader was able to sort out the sheltering plan and
reception centers for the runners, subsequent transport of runners from
shelter locations and give out information on MBTA bus and train operations.

Jim Palmer, KB1KQW -- who served as a net control at the Net Control Center
-- stated that nets were doubled up on operators, to allow one person to
operate the radio while the other listened and logged priority calls and
ambulance requests, creating a more efficient operation. "Several ambulance
requests for dehydration and exhaustion were handled due to the runners
needing to be stopped," Palmer said. The specific net that Palmer ran also
provided a link between the marathon course and the American Red Cross in
its Cambridge facility. Lou Harris, N1UEC; Frank O'Laughlin, WQ1O, and Dan
Howard, K1DYO, staffed the Red Cross in Cambridge. 

Many amateur operators who volunteered along the marathon route praised Net
Control's support after the bombing. "Net Control did an awesome job," said
course volunteer David Wihl, KB1VEG. "The workload was busiest after seven
hours on the radio, and it didn't let up for another couple hours."

Several young radio amateurs from the Clay Center Amateur Radio Club also
supported Net Control Operations, both as direct net control operators and
runners for the operation as they have done in the past. This provided a
tremendous learning opportunity for these young operators, from both an
Amateur Radio perspective and an overall learning perspective.

"Despite the total lack of warning in this situation, amateurs followed a
creed I've long since preached since the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the
mutual aid response to those attacks: 'blessed are the flexible for they
will not get bent out of shape,'" said Steve Schwarm, W3EVE. "Amateurs on
the course did what they had to do to assure their own safety and runner
safety working with the Red Cross medical people. They did an outstanding
job and I was told so by Red Cross organizers as well."

Marathon event is typical, but within 15 minutes of the bombings, Eastern
Massachusetts ARES Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator, Carl Aveni,
N1FY, issued an ARES Stand-By and requested that amateurs give availability
for the next 24 hours. Within minutes, 20 amateurs offered their
availability.

The ARES sub-regional command center at the Acushnet, Massachusetts EOC
(under call sign WA1EMA) was utilized as a control point to obtain critical
situational awareness of the rapidly changing situation, as well as to
monitor resource nets per a report filed by Acushnet Emergency Management
Communications Officer Ed Caron, KA1RSY; he also serves as the South Shore
Massachusetts ARES District Emergency Coordinator. A total of five Amateur
Radio operators were deployed to this facility. An ARES resource net was
called on the 147.18 Bridgewater repeater with Byron Piette, K1YCQ, as net
control with 11 stations checking into the net.

"In terms of having amateurs within ARES who cannot get directly involved in
the marathon, we have a process where we have them monitor in case of a
situation like what occurred on Monday. That process paid off and
facilitated a rapid response to our request for possible additional
support," said Carl Aveni, N1FY.

mid-afternoon through the evening hours since a major weather event
requiring SKYWARN activation occurs doing this time-frame.  The alternative
is not to activate SKYWARN which presents a safety of life and property in
the repeater coverage area.  Recent U.S. Government Sequestration has made
getting NWS NCS training very difficult to obtain, I rather see us have
SKYWARN Nets than risk life and property to those in our coverage area.
Please monitor NWS website for Hazard Outlook Forecast to see if SKYWARN
activations will be needed for weather events, hence, start a SKYWARN NET
for our coverage area.  

 

Roll calls are not needed for SKYWARN NETS.  Listen for the script SKYWARN
NCS reads and report for only those conditions being asked.  NWS is looking
for certain conditions on the ground and is not interested that the "sky is
blue" at your location, for example.  In other words, keep radio traffic to
a minimum so those experiencing weather events can report to SKYWARN NCS.
The job of being SKYWARN NCS is intense and very demanding.  SKYWARN NCS
needs to take local reports and to rely those reports to NWS Sterling
timely. 

 

It is normal & necessary operational procedures to have a backup station for
the NCS since so much information is being passed at times.  It also gives
NCS time to call NWS Sterling with updates, time to take a break since some
weather events last hours and in case NCS goes off-the-air for some reason.

 

NWS Sterling host quarterly SKYWARN Meetings with a meteorologist.  Dates
and times are posted on NWS Sterling website under SKYWARN on the right
side. For those that like to go to a meeting let me know.  I have been to
dozens of their meetings in the past and do not mind driving there.  The
meetings are informative and would let us be more up to date on NWS
objectives.  Since these meetings occurs on Government property a list of
names of those attending is required prior to the meeting.  

 

*All ARES and RACES members should have an all-weather radio with S.A.M.E.
(Specific Area Messaging Encoding, i.e., one can set radio to turn ON when
Calvert County is included in a bulletin) feature at their location.  Not
only do these radios alert one for weather critical bulletins for specific
areas but other national emergencies utilizes these radios too for
notifications.  Just like a smoke alarm in your home, a weather radio with
S.A.M.E. is the next safety equipment ALL households should be equipped.

<DIV class=3DWordSection1>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>Attached is a list of SKYWARN ID=E2=80=99s for hams lo=
cal to the K3CAL-R.&nbsp; Updated list will be sent as new ID=E2=80=99s are=
 received.</P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>I do not know who are SKYWARN NCS trained by NWS.&nbsp=
; If we do not have substantial number of hams trained SKYWARN NCS then I s=
uggest we ask for volunteers as long as we stick to the NWS NCS Scripts.&nb=
sp; </P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>From experience, SKYWARN NCS should be those hams avai=
lable in the mid-afternoon through the evening hours since a major weather =
event requiring SKYWARN activation occurs doing this time-frame.&nbsp; The =
alternative is not to activate SKYWARN which presents a safety of life and =
property in the repeater coverage area.&nbsp; Recent U.S. Government Seques=
tration has made getting NWS NCS training very difficult to obtain, I rathe=
r see us have SKYWARN Nets than risk life and property to those in our cove=
rage area.&nbsp; Please monitor NWS website for Hazard Outlook Forecast to =
see if SKYWARN activations will be needed for weather events, hence, start =
a SKYWARN NET for our coverage area.&nbsp; </P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>Roll calls are not needed for SKYWARN NETS.&nbsp; List=
en for the script SKYWARN NCS reads and report for only those conditions be=
ing asked.&nbsp; NWS is looking for certain conditions on the ground and is=
 not interested that the =E2=80=9Csky is blue=E2=80=9D at your location, fo=
r example.&nbsp; In other words, keep radio traffic to a minimum so those e=
xperiencing weather events can report to SKYWARN NCS.&nbsp; The job of bein=
g SKYWARN NCS is intense and very demanding.&nbsp; SKYWARN NCS needs to tak=
e local reports and to rely those reports to NWS Sterling timely. </P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>It is normal &amp; necessary operational procedures to=
 have a backup station for the NCS since so much information is being passe=
d at times.&nbsp; It also gives NCS time to call NWS Sterling with updates,=
 time to take a break since some weather events last hours and in case NCS =
goes off-the-air for some reason.</P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>NWS Sterling host quarterly SKYWARN Meetings with a me=
teorologist.&nbsp; Dates and times are posted on NWS Sterling website under=
 SKYWARN on the right side. For those that like to go to a meeting let me k=
now.&nbsp; I have been to dozens of their meetings in the past and do not m=
ind driving there.&nbsp; The meetings are informative and would let us be m=
ore up to date on NWS objectives.&nbsp; Since these meetings occurs on Gove=
rnment property a list of names of those attending is required prior to the=
 meeting.&nbsp; </P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal>&nbsp;</P>
<P class=3DMsoNormal><SPAN style=3D"FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings; COLOR: red">F</=

sp; Not only do these radios alert one for weather critical bulletins for s=

As we begin the 2013 Hurricane Season, I urge the 94% of you, that's right -
the 94% of you - who are NOT involved in any way with volunteering your
communications skills and radio equipment to help out in times of emergency,
to contact your local ARESR Emergency Coordinator and get involved.  You may
find contact information by clicking <http://www.arrl-mdc.net/MDC_EC_RO.htm>
on our local MDC Section website <http://www.arrl-mdc.net/> where you will
also find information about clubs, links to items of interest, etc.
