            Here is the newsletter for those that don't receive it.



NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

If you are interested in ARES and serious about EMCOMM in Indiana, you

are going to have to train, upgrade and start doing DRILLS. The time

has come to move ARES here in Indiana to the 21st century.  All DEC

and EC should be upgrading to General

http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?item=9965  or Extra Class

http://www.arrl.org/catalog/?category=Licensing+and+Upgrading!+Manuals,+software+and+more...&words=+Extra+Class+License+Manual&SearchWords.x=5&SearchWords.y=10

, so you can have HF access on all the bands. 



Also for your training you should complete the Incident Command System

courses. All state and local agencies now require these if you are

going to work with them.

 IS100 - Introduction to the Incident Command System

http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/Is/is100.asp 

 IS200 - ICS for Single Resources and Initial Action Incidents

http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is200.asp 

IS700- National Incident Management System (NIMS)

http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/is700.asp

IS800- National Response Plan (NRP), Introduction

http://www.training.fema.gov/emiweb/IS/is800a.asp 

All of these are available free and online from FEMA.



The ARRL recommends that DEC/EC take the Amateur Radio Emergency

Communications Course (ARECC) too. http://www.arrl.org/cce/courses.html 



Here are some free training things 

1-EMCOMM Basic, http://www.w0ipl.net/ECom/EComBas.pdf  

2- EMCOMM Intro, http://www.w0ipl.net/ECom/EComIntro.pdf 

3-ARLINGTON CO, http://www.w4ava.org/races/auxcomm01.htm  

4-NATIONAL TRAFFIC SYSTEM  

http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/nts-mpg/pdf/index.html  

5- The Skywarn spotter training from the NWS, Basic

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/brochures/basicspot.pdf and Advance

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/brochures/adv_spotters.pdf .



These 5 are great resources for you to learn even more about EmComm.



MONTHLY TIP: This is from the PSCM

Avoid spreading rumors. During and after a disaster situation,

especially on the phone bands, you may hear almost anything.

Unfortunately, much misinformation is transmitted. Rumors are started

by expansion, deletion, amplification or modification of words,

exaggeration or interpretation. All addressed transmissions should be

officially authenticated as to their source. These transmissions

should be repeated word for word, if at all, and only when

specifically authorized. In a disaster emergency situation, with

everyone's nerves on edge, it is little short of criminal to make a

statement on the air without foundation in authenticated fact.



Ft Wayne Hamfest is November 17th and 18th, I will be there both days

and hope you all stop by the ARRL table and say HELLO.



Happy Thanksgiving
