Emergency Communications Workshop in Walpole Massachusetts...
 
Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Workshop Saturday April 8th, 2006:
 
There will be an Emergency Communications Workshop on Saturday April 8th, 2006 
from 9:00 AM-4:00 PM at the Walpole Town Hall, 135 School Street in Walpole, 
Massachusetts.
 
This session is being put on by the ARES Section Staff through the 
efforts of Roger Turner-W1ZSA, town of Walpole Emergency Management Director. 
This Emergency Communications Workshop will provide the background and 
information to serve Amateur Radio Operators when they need to respond to a 
communications emergency. It will feature an Introduction and Conclusion to 
Emergency Communications, and five 1-hour training sessions on topics 
including:
 
Overview of Eastern Massachusetts ARES-RACES-SKYWARN Programs
Net Operations
NTS Traffic Message Handling
Basic Overview of ICS
Go Kits
Interactive Exercises on Field Operations
 
This training will also feature a 1-hour lunch that will be provided at
no coerced cost to any Amateur who attends the session.
 
The presentations will be given by other Amateur Operators well versed
in the topics listed above. The training will be a worthwhile endeavor
not just for emergency communicators but for anyone who is an Amateur
Radio Operator, and wants to learn more about the hobby.
 
Preregistration is requested but is not required in case anyone would
like to attend at the last minute. Please try to preregister by
Monday April 3rd, 2006 to assure the meeting place is setup properly and
we have enough refreshments for breaks between lectures and for the lunch
break. We will, however, accept any last minute preregistrations after that 
day or any walk-ins as long as space permits.
