2014 spring exercise - jjmcd/ARPSC GitHub Wiki
Initial thoughts
- Online because we can't get everyone to Lansing
- Per district because online webinars fall apart with more than about a dozen people
- Probably ECs only for the same reason
- Larry has suggested programs get together in one room with a big screen
- Would like to invoke significant discussion of VHF operations
- What to do when the repeater goes dark
- Do your repeaters have backup power
- Are there areas not well served by whatever repeater is used by ARES
- VHF relays
- How do local programs activate
- What if phones are down
- Bench depth, what if EC is out of town
- Are paper plans available if EC is not
- Do you have adequate manpower to cover shelters, other facilities
- What if it extends over multiple operational periods
- Do you have plans to reach out to other counties, districts for help
- What if travel is restricted
- Do you have separate staging, tactical, admin frequencies
- Perhaps April would be better than May if we can be ready in time
- Late March if possible
- Can we get relevant drawings from EMHSD GIS
- McD to call EMHSD 17Feb and see if possible
- Can/Should we have ECs print player guides prior
- How can we best use/recruit evaluators
- Possibly put evaluators in a few meeting rooms
