"This is NOT a Drill"
by Wayne Barringer KB6UJW
Mariposa County (CA) Lessons Learned: Your radio is a support tool
for the success -- not the focus -- of operations.
Perhaps other volunteer radio operators can also take a lesson from
the amateur radio operators in Mariposa!
Initial Attack (AT): June 21, 2008 at 1710 Hours. The Oliver Fire
was started by lightning, one of approximately 721 fires started by
a dry lightning storm that moved through Northern California on Jun
20-21, 2008.
Anticipating an early call from CAL FIRE, Simon Elman KB6CLV, a VIP
(Volunteer In fire Prevention) with CAL FIRE Madera-Mariposa-Merced
Unit, started calling other VIP members to identify those available
for a possible activation. After two days of waiting for some type
of activation, Simon "stood down" and waited.
In California, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) got the IA order, and
CAL FIRE (under mutual aid) also responded. Listening to a scanner
can be deceiving if you don't know who "owns" the IA, because it is
the IA agency that names the incident, and calls the shots through
the "IC" (Incident Commander). Since the USFS was the IA, with the
CAL FIRE engines responding under mutual aid, the call to those VIP
members "waiting in the winds" could not be made.
But then, the fire shifted onto SRA (State Responsibility Area) and
the story changed. CAL FIRE Incident Command Team 6 was activated,
and then began working in a "unified command" format with the USFS
to identify a new set of incident objectives and other priorities.
As the number of resources grew, community outreach requirements
were identified, and the VIP members of CAL FIRE/MMU were ordered
to activation by the CAL FIRE/MMU volunteer coordinator. Simon had
to scramble, but successfully had radio operators "on the road" and
headed to their assignments two hours later --- KUDOS TO SIMON!
It had been a long time since the MMU area had an extended wildfire
incident. The VIP members were accustomed to red flag patrols as a
precaution during extreme weather circumstances with high potential
for wildfire outbreaks, but this was something new. They were told
they would be supporting the Information Unit. The radios they had
would become a tool they would use, but the focus of their mission
would be providing accurate information to inquiring citizens.
Typical to most volunteer communications organizations, some of the
members had employment responsibilities and were not available. So
that means thinking "outside the box" and contact local members of
Mariposa County ARES. Together, CAL FIRE VIPs and Mariposa County
ARES members staffed four field positions, a radio position at CAL
FIRE headquarters where the incident call center was situated, and
another position at the Incident Command Post at the Mariposa Fair
Grounds. Additionally, radio operators also volunteered and filled
positions inside the call center, answering telephones, providing
information to citizens and news media, and offering a service to
their community that can hardly be measured on any scale.
>From the early morning and until late evening, VIP and ARES members
left their families, loved ones and neighbors to pass messages and
answer telephones, to update community message boards...to become a
source of information when law and fire resources were stretched so
very thin...and did a fantastic job learning quickly and adapting
to a very chaotic and stressful situation.
Mistakes were made. But they were corrected. Lessons were learned
and those will be used to create future training scenarios that all
can benefit from. This new involvement now expands opportunities
for assisting during future incidents.
After all, it's only July, and it's going to be a long summer!
KUDOs to those amateur radio operators who assisted throughout the
incident, as well as those who exercised discipline and allowed the
required communications to be transmitted without interruption.
Under the direction of KB6CLV, CAL FIRE VIP members worked "hand in
hand" with Mariposa County ARES members, under the watchful eye of
Mach Myovich K6KAP. All have every right to be proud.
They "did good."

Featuring topics or messages of interest to radio operators without
regard to volunteer involvement or participation level. Now, here
are the topics for this issue:
--------------------------
-:> "When Disaster Strikes..."
--------------------------
How much time will you have to prepare? How much time do you need?
Hurricanes, floods, fires, and others often have sufficient advance
warnings to take preventive or precautionary actions. A tornado or
earthquake, however, may strike without any advance warning.
Individuals who have "planned ahead" are "more prepared" and have a
lot more options than someone who has not planned and is not ready.
Ask yourself ... will you be able to:
* Depend on your training in a disaster? Practice doesn't make
perfect, practicing perfect makes perfect, and CERT training
can "get you started" in the right direction. CPR, Disaster
First Aid, Fire Prevention, Disaster Communications ... and
much, much more. Don't wait until it's too late. Call today!
* During this month:
- Check & repair all "safety" straps around the water heater.

-:> "When Opportunity Knocks..."
----------------------------
Communications are always needed during a disaster to order, track
and manage resources, to distribute assignments and to follow-up on
their status, to share objective. It is also critical to ensuring
the safety of all involved in the operation.
Volunteer communicators frequently are ashamed to admit they are on
the "outside looking in" while operations are ongoing and they know
they "could help" if someone would "just call them" and ask.
The problem for first responders (law, fire, health, haz-mat, etc.)
and emergency managers is that any type of volunteer capability is,
in most cases, unpredictable. Incident "need" is the only focus by
first responders and emergency managers. With volunteers, however,
it's about "availability" and being able to get off work, away from
the family, and (usually) about getting "ready" to respond.
Ask yourself ... as a volunteer communicator:
* Summertime is here. Do you have sufficient levels of water in
your house or garage for your entire family? How about pets,
those with special needs?
* Despite repeated public service messages, many people are not
prepared for disaster. Are you one of them? If you have a
plan, when was the last time you practiced it? Do you have
pets now and didn't before? Do you care for your parents but
didn't when you created your plan?
* During this month:
- Review your disaster resources. Make a list of "things you
need" and start to purchase a little each time you visit the
store, market or discount retailer. Make sure to cross off
those items from your list so you know what you still need
to buy...the NEXT time you shop.
- Check over your radio batteries and make sure they can still
hold a charge. If they can't, should you replace them?
Does your agency or organization have any individual radio operator
standards to objectively evaluate proficiency? Do you have an idea
or suggestion that might improve individual/group proficiency? Why
not e-mail it to us and let us consider it for future issues?

--------------------
-:> "A Safety Minute..."
--------------------
One area frequently overlooked and often compromised is the subject
of safety. When we make safety a priority, and emphasis it in each
of our operations, we communicate to others how important safety is
within our organization, family, or club/group.
Consider these areas during future operations:
* Scripting emergency messages in advance allows time to review
and make changes. Say exactly what you want with the fewest
words possible. Include space for critical information like
where you are or intent to go.
* Scripting messages using notepad or other text editor is an
easy way to create messages that can be quickly inserted into
an e-mail using the "copy and paste" process.
* ASCII-text files are virus-free, small in size, and can be
opened by almost any computer.
* During this month:
- Create multiple copies of a "script disk" and keep a copy
in each person's "go" bag. Consider making a CD and include
critical information like maps, communications plans, and
emergency contacts. Remember, using text files will make
it easy to access the information without needing special
programs or software applications.
[ Got A Recommendation? ]
Do you have an safety message, idea or recommendation to share with
our readers? Why not send it in? Be sure to identify yourself and
include your city and state/province, and any radio licenses we can

-:> "A Sense of Urgency..."
-----------------------
Did you set any goals for this year? How about professional goals
relating to your role as a volunteer communications specialist? If
you haven't started yet or are still in the "planning" phase of the
process (what THAT is...), this is a reminder to you:
* This is month 07 out of the 12 available in 2008.
* What have you done to prepare yourself and/or your loved ones
during the last 06 month(s) of this year?
* At the end of 2008, will you have 12 months of progress, or 12
sessions of repeating the same thing over and over again?
* A "Goal" is just a "Dream" ... but with an ACTION PLAN.

"REALITY: More Than Just Radio Communications"
by Wayne Barringer KB6UJW, KAG0370
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is concerned. If what is
being widely reported is true, they (and we) have a real problem on
our hands!
DHS (and others) report less than 30% of the population of the U.S.
is ready for disaster. Despite many who live in areas prone to the
problems of annual wildfires, each year many families are simply go
into a "state of confusion" when law enforcement officers tell them
they must evacuate -- NOW!
"What should I take?" "Where should we go?" "How should I contact
my children?" "The telephone isn't working, how can I call my work
and let them know?" "How will everyone know where I went?"
Ask anyone involved in the evacuation process (police, fire, health
and yes ... Red Cross, Salvation Army, local EMA (emergency manage-
ment agency) ... they will all tell you the same thing.
** PEOPLE ARE NOT READY OR PREPARED FOR DISASTER WHEN IT HAPPENS **
But wait a minute! If those figures are true (of course, they must
be, because the government says so!), then it also stands true that
many volunteer communicators are also "not ready" or prepared for a
disaster if it happens to them!
This is NOT good! This is NOT the way it's SUPPOSED to be!
Aren't we, as radio operators, SUPPOSED to be ready for disaster?
Let's be honest...it takes a lot of effort to "get ready." It also
takes time, steadfastness, and constantly reminding oneself that it
(disaster) might happen at any time. Most of us become "lazy" over
time, and try to live off our "past efforts" ... hoping it will "be
enough" to hold us over and let us "get through" the disaster.
WAKE UP! If 30% of the people are not prepared, then won't it also
be true that our job is going to be even more difficiult when local
officials contact us? There will be more messages, more crisis and
more chaos, confusion and exhaustion! Our neighbors will more than
likely be looking to us for answers.
-- "Do you have any extra water?
-- "Can I borrow a shovel?"
-- "Can you get a message to my family?"
-- "Are you able to find out where my kids are?"
QUESTION: How many NTS (or other format) messages can you write or
transmit in an hour? During the first 24-48 hours, do you have all
of the forms, pens, paper, batteries, etc. you will need to be able
to "stay on the air" and "be a viable option" in your community?
Here is something to consider. During a disaster:
-> Those who have AM/FM radios will have access to information.
The information may NOT apply to your local area, may NOT be
meaningful to local disaster operations, and may NOT provide
you with information you can use to make decisions.
-> Those with two-way radios will be able to transmit AND RECEIVE
information that applies DIRECTLY to your operations, to your
neighborhood, and to those who are turning to you for help.
Having a license and a radio is not the goal. Having both to use
as a tool to accomplish the mission...now THAT'S the goal!!
Anyone who has been involved in a real disaster knows that a lot of
preparation needs to take place before the incident begins. If all
we do it keep waiting, it's just a matter of time before we will be
caught off guard and NOT BE READY to help when help is badly needed
by those around us.
Communications volunteers may want to reconsider their role and try
to become more proactive in getting themselves, and their neighbor,
prepared for when disaster strikes.
If you have some interesting training ideas or topic you would like
to share, please use the link below and send it to us.
Thanks for reading.

"Strategic Training for Tactical Missions"
The use of tactical callsigns is not new. They are frequently used
at major public service events to designate specific locations even
though the radio operator at that location or assignment may not be
the same all the time.
For example, organizers at the local county fair may want operators
to be positioned at the main gates, the ticket booth, the first aid
booth, and the rear gate. By assigning a tactical call for each of
those positions, confusion can be avoided during the event and each
of the tactical callsigns can be easily referenced on documentation
and on the air.
Volunteering at a public service event can, when planned properly,
provide excellent training scenarios for new, as well experienced,
radio opeators. The secret is -- very simply -- proper planning.
Many radio operators, especially those unfamiliar with event comms,
are not familiar with the radio procedures that apply to tactical
callsign operations. The focus of this article is not to review
radio procedures, but to discuss why training for tactical missions
should be a strategy at every public service event.
How many events are conducted without any type of training scenario
at all? Frequently communications volunteers donate their time and
all they receive is a "thank you" or a t-shirt. Why can't we offer
more in the way of training at each event? Why can't training be a
priority as part of each event? Why can't each event be treated as
a tactical mission?
Many volunteer communications groups/organizations publish an event
schedule each year, somehow seeming to indicate their commitment to
public service and preparedness. However, if the same people staff
the same locations each year, what are they learning? If the event
has no real tactical mission, how can training become an integral
part of that event?
The Incident Command System is based on a series of tasks designed
to build proficiencies. So how can that philosophy be adapted into
event calendars so radio operators can learn more by participating?
When was the last time the Training Officer was a part of the event
planning staff? How many volunteer communicators actually have an
individual training record? How many of those training records are
a reflection of the requirements for upcoming events and the types
of proficiencies expected of that organization's operators?
The fire services learned long ago that ICS is easier to learn when
it is used frequently. So, ICS became an operational aspect of the
fire service daily operations. Why should amateur radio/volunteer
communications be any different?
True, it will mean new responsibilities, learning new skills and to
create scenarios that make participation at volunteer events more
rewarding because of their training and educational value.
When volunteering for an event includes a strategy of training for
tactical missions related to potential hazards or specific disaster
scenarios, participation takes on an increased importance. But if
the event sponsor buys into that concept -- and actively supports
it by creating or requesting tactical training -- then two things
happen at exactly the same time:
1. The radio operator provides a public service at that
particular event.
2. The radio operator also learns something that increases
their individual proficiency and talent as a radio
operator at that event today, and helps better prepare
them for a disaster -- when it happens -- in the future.
That's a "Win-Win" for everyone!
