Brandon and Jeff,

Thanks for your standby service. Standby is frustrating but an honored necessity.

There are upcoming ideas so continue to be available.

Regards/

Cliff

Matt / Cliff

Brandon and I stand ready. We did do the online FEMA cert classes for ICS 100, 200, 700 and 800 back in July 2015. Of course a refresher would be needed. Just let us know. Keep in mind Brandon is 17 but is only 4 months shy of being 18.


Thanks

Good Morning Cliff,

Any word on the shelters or need for ARES?

Also, our "official" roster of contacts is low.  Steve and I were briefly discussing this. Could we expand it with potentials?  Thinking like Ray and Brandon that volunteered already. Obviously, some discussions, basic training, etc would be needed.  But as is, our official capacity is fairly limited.

Good Afternoon!


...just an update.


As always we pray for those in harms way.


Any alert level that I know of is just to be prepared.


There is word that there may be shelters - but remember we are not there (if called) to run shelters. We do comms! So while we talk about shelters a lot in training there is no current loss of comms nor is there is a call for ARES to provide comms for any shelters we may be hearing about.


When we talk about "boots on the ground" we talk about a meaning of I am at this spot and here is wot is going on. We wouldn't travel on our own to seek out a situation to report. We don't self-deploy.


We have not talked about this clearly before, but if needed our served agency calls us and then I or Matt Young or Steve Nosko, or John White would act on the call provide support.


Thanks,
