Good morning!

Please see the email from Karen below and look at the attached flyer.

Be advised that there are prerequisites and you will have to show proof that you have taken the required training.  I seem to have lost my certificate for ICS-200 so I will be retaking it.   You can determine the courses you have received credit for by checking the FEMA site.

As a side note, I attended the ADXA meeting in Russellville yesterday and they are expecting a big impact to that community due to the eclipse next year.  They expect the population of the area to swell to 300,000.  Hotel rooms are essentially unavailable.  Food and fuel will be difficult to find for a few days before and after the event.  Traffic patterns will be altered in Russellville to accommodate the influx of people.  Moving around in Russellville will be difficult.  Plan for the worse and hope for the best!

An AUXCOMM course is being offered October 7-8, 2023 at the White Hall Fire Department Station #2 at 5 Hospitality Drive in White Hall. This class is designed for those auxiliary emergency communicators and groups who volunteer to provide backup emergency radio communications support to public safety agencies. Typically, this includes amateur radio and Radio Emergency Associated Communications Team (REACT) communicators, but may include other volunteer emergency communicators. There is no charge for this training, and course materials will be provided by CISA ECD.  Some travel/per diem costs may be covered by ADEM.  Please check with John Minard on this. His email address along with other information regarding AUXCOMM is on the attached flyer. There are some prerequisites for the class and they are described on the flyer.

If you would like to attend, registration is available at the following link:
