I have a profile? Does that mean I have an account or do I need to do
something else to sign in?

Good evening,

I'm working on some end of the month tasks and am hoping everyone can help
me finish up a few things.

First, fourteen of the fifteen ARES members have signed up for accounts on
the ARES website (https://ares.k3cal.org).  That's great!  Nine of the
fourteen completed the registration
(https://ares.k3cal.org/forms/sign-up-for-calvert-county-ares/) form.  Thank
you for that!  Now I'm hoping I can get the rest of the membership to finish
up so we can start next month (and next year) on the right foot.  If you
haven't completed your registration please go to the ARES website, login,
and then select Forms -> ARES Registration Form and answer the questions.
If you ever need to update your information you can simply edit your
existing record (Forms -> Personnel Record) and save yourself from having to
complete the entire form again.

The members who have completed the registration form:
Dave Hardy
Don Kirby
Shawn Donley
Monica Noell
Ed Noell
Chip Dahle
Bob Balint
Bob Sheskin
Eric Christensen

Second, if you haven't completed your NIMS training
(https://ares.k3cal.org/training/nims/) (IS-100, IS-200, IS-700, and IS-800)
please do so over the coming weeks.  I know these things aren't much fun but
they do help provide an understanding of our role and place in the Incident
Command System.  Please report your completion on your ARES registration
form.

Third, I've posted many of the relevant area, region, and section nets on
the ARES website (https://ares.k3cal.org/net-schedule/).  I'd really like it
if someone from Calvert County would check-in to the MEPN a few times a week
and take traffic for the area (at least Calvert County).  This is will help
prepare us for handling traffic into and out of Calvert County.  I already
go on Tuesdays as a part of my liaison duties (from the NTSD) but having
regular participation from our county would be great.  If you're interested
in handling local NTS traffic to and from the section nets please let me
know and I'll help you with understanding how it all works.  We will be
doing some NTS training in the coming weeks to help prepare for general
operations.

Lastly, thanks to everyone who has helped the team be successful.  Since
November I've received lots of help getting everything going and I hope to
continue the momentum into 2015.  I hope to do some practical exercises
throughout the year in addition to the regular monthly meetings.  I foresee
2015 being a busy year for us for public service events and hopefully no
emergent requests.

Until next time...

73,
Eric W4OTN
