All RACES members; The Charles County Department of Emergency Services will
be practicing the Continuity Of Operation Plan (COOP), on April 12, 2012.
The exercise will start at 0900 and conclude around 1600 hours.  They have
decided to test their ability to relocate the EOC under simulated
conditions.  They want to see how well things work once relocated.  Testing
of auxiliary systems to assess communication infrastructure reliability will
also take place.  Our RACES tasking is to establish contact with MEMA as we
normally do, then transition to a mobile application, while maintaining
communications.  Back-up telephone systems will be tested also during this
planned exercise. Even as of this morning, some of the planning remains
fluid at the MEMA level.  I realize an exercise during the day may conflict
with many of you. If you can participate please let me know. Plan to use
146.535 for local amateur radio communications. Thanks again for your
support! 

  

73,
