[K3CAL] NIMS Training

[Dennis N3QHC]

DATE:  March 3, 2013

SUBJECT:  Required NIMS Training

 

At the last CALV ARES Meeting we discussed the need to complete 4 NIMS
classes. Below are the links to these courses.  Perhaps some can find time
to complete these self-taught courses.  

 

We will be teaching NIMS-100.b at the March meeting. 

 

After 9/11 it was determine to have First-Responders working on the same
page.  Various groups of First Responders had different methods and
organizational structures which cause miss-communications.  FEMA studied the
After Action Reports and determined to have everyone on the same page
working together.  Hence, the minimum requirement for hams working with
First Responders is to have these courses completed.  It is very important
if you want to be an ARES or R.A.C.E.S. member that these course be done.  

 

CALV ARES/RACES is a behind getting these courses completed by its members
so please come to the March CALV ARES Meeting or start doing these course at
home.  These four courses are one of those Very Important things to
complete.
