Bob,

What is required for  AIRES?  and what does MEMA stand for?  Thanks.

Kirk,

You took the right courses to  enable you to participate in RACES and 
other MEMA/FEMA-sponsored emergency  response activities.   The leading 
zeros don't mean  anything.

There are other, higher-level courses available (Jeff or Joe or  Bill or 
one of the Jims can fill you in what's available and what   their 
completion gets you), but you've completed the entry-level stuff that  
you need. 

Now all you have to do is get copies of your certificates  to Jim WA3FUJ 
for his records, along with your RACES registration form, if  you're 
interested in participating in RACES.

right  thing.  I took IS-00100 Introduction to the Incident Command System, and  
IS-00700 The National Incident Management System (NIMS), an  Introduction.

and are more required courses  necessary?
