Incident Action Plan Training
October 13th, 2018
Unfortunately we have had to cancel
the upcoming IAP workshop on 10/13 due to a lack of
interest. Ideally we may be attempting it again during
the winter or spring when it would make more sense to do
it with a smaller class size.

RIP N4MJV
Veteran of three wars. WWII, Korea and Vietnam
94 Years young Jim Walch, N4MJV
recently
moved here from Alabama to be near family. His daughter
reached out to RACES to see if we could help get him
back on the air. Thanks to Dave, KC9GZB and Harry W9BR
Jim was soon up and running on 2 Meters. Sadly, Jim
passed away a week later, but we were told that he had a
smile on his face all week, being back on the air. RIP
Jim. |

 Buy
a Weather Radio
According to our EC Don K9DRW,
if you don't have a weather radio, you REALLY
should buy one.

Go
Kits
Anyone serious about Emergency Support
should have a go-kit, or maybe more than one. It may be
something you keep in the car or something mostly packed
and ready to go at home. Even if you don't have one, you
should think about what you might need to have in case
of an emergency.
This is a presentation that Dan O'Connor, KE7HLR made at EMCOMMWEST in 2008. It's a
rather large PDF file (about 3Meg). If you don't have a
high speed connection, I suggest downloading it, and
reading it off line. It's great 'food for thought' and
well worth the read. I found myself mentally comparing
Dan's ideas to what I have assembled and thinking about
what I might want to add.
