Subject: NCW UPDATE

 

I met with supervisory and line staff rangers at the PI ranger station on
Sunday 10-18-15 and they are a go for help from the NCW radio team at
Presque Isle. The scenario examples I gave were severe weather event with
damage reports, posting to watch for a lost child and fire watch during
"fuzzy" season. I was specific in that we were ONLY to be eyes and ears for
the rangers. At no time would any radio operators be involved in any way
that involved advising/telling/directing park visitors anything. No traffic
control/directing. A call-out process would be by email/text/phone with
rally point info provided at that time.

 

Communications processes between NCW net-control and the rangers is being
worked on.

 

Remember, I am calling for a NCW meeting, Saturday 10-24-15 at 1 pm at the
PI Ranger station. When you enter ask for the conference room . We will use
the meeting for questions, procedural information and how to fill out the
Conservation Volunteer application.

 

There have been some questions about becoming a conservation volunteer-----Q
= why do we have to do it? I already do radio stuff at PI with RAE. Answer =
Events with RAE are requested by the race events and arranged by RAE.
--------------NCW is specifically to help the rangers and covers the state
requirements for volunteers on state property. So we do have to become
conservation volunteers.
