This year the SET will take place on Saturday October 5th
Last year we did a deployment exercise, and a lot of valuable lessons were learned. This year we would like to build on that and do another deployment exercise. Here is a summary of what we will do.
County Groups deploy individuals who will report via HF / VHF or UHF according to the plan the county EC comes up with. The county EC will fill out all appropriate ICS forms as required and needed.
Individuals will report at minimum Current Location, how long it took them to deploy and current WX conditions.
EC or Designated NCS will report via HF to the section who will be simulating the served agency. The SEC will fill out all the ICS forms for the section and get this to the counties ASAP with frequencies the section will be using.
When individual deployments are complete and the information has been passed to the simulated served agency, the EC will then send a summary message to the SEC with # of stations deployed, # of messages sent and received and number of stations who used VHF/UHF and HF.
The SEC will compile this information and send to the SM Via Winlink.
ARES members, please contact and work with your EC on specific plans for your county. If you would like to be involved but do not have an active group in your county. please contact me directly.
