[K3PZN-List] Test Activation Status

[n3sb at qis.net]

Hi Folks;

I'm delighted to see how many of you have responded, and how quickly  
you have done so! For those who haven't gotten my test activation  
message and responded yet - as they say on TV, "the phones are still  
open" for you to call in.

Here is a two-part question I would like for you to consider, and send  
me your thoughts about:

1) Under what conditions or circumstances would using email to  
activate ARES/RACES not work well?

2) What could be done to work around those issues?

Finally -- I'm happy to announce that the Carroll County Office of  
Emergency Management is holding WebEOC training on Wednesday February  
24, from 7 - 9 PM at the EOC in New Windsor. All CARET members and  
prospective members are welcome to attend. Please mark your calendars  
and let me know if you plan on attending. This is a special training  
session that has been scheduled to accommodate those of us who have  
day jobs, and is not likely to be repeated soon, so don't miss this  
opportunity.

WebEOC is a very neat computer application that pulls together  
incident related information, to provide emergency managers with  
improved situational awareness. Google WebEOC is you want to learn  
more. The hams in Carroll County can make a significant contribution  
in areas such as road conditions, fallen trees, damage to homes, power  
outages, telephone outages, etc, due to our numbers, distribution  
throughout the county, and ability to communicate that information  
into the EOC very quickly.
