[FADCA] Additional discussion on emergency coms

[fadca@mailman.qth.net]

I have attached a file regarding the discussion of emergency communications.  It should be compatible with Winlink and FPAC switches in Florida, however, the discussion leans toward the WinLink support of messaging between the disaster site and SEOC.

State EOC Communications
1, On an Annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis:
   Send the call to the SEOC that are approved to send messages to the
   SEOC or originate Tactical Conections to the SEOC. Would be done in
   the same manner as the designated voice stations.

   Use the same method of filtering calls as used by bbss to accept message
   or file transfer between BBSs.

2. Sending Messages to the SEOC to activate the calls for disaster
   communication support at the start of a situation. (Calls from the list
   in #1.)

3. Tatical Communications.

   a.  Use connect statement "C SEOC" and automatic routing would handle
   the connection to the SEOC.

   b. Filter at SEOC station to exclude all but those in #1 above.

4. Messages to SEOC

   a.  NTS Format only.

      1.  Priority of messages: "Emergency" or "Priority"

      2,  Service message to originating station.

      3.  All messages sent over the signature of County Emergency Manager.
5. Daily Test Message.

   a.  Test message sent as a REQ so an automatic respose could be
       generated.
   b.  Sending station has responsibity to report to a designated station
       any failure to receive test message response back from EOC.

Discussion. System needs to be auto routing for tactical or messages. Needs
to not depend on one station in Tallahassee to be operational. (AD4DO was
off the air for months and could not respond to test messages.) We need
to limit outages by reducing the number of points the message or tactical
communications must go through to reach SEOC. The system needs to not
depend on favorable radio propogation. Must be usable 24/7.
