New page

Casey Dunn and Peggy Wargo (SSEO ) joined Jeneen Sommers at the La Honda Fire Department as part of the County Wide 'Yellow Command' exercise.

Jeneen walked us through how to open the fire station as an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and to set up in a corner of the common room set aside for radio communications.

General Points:
* bring your laptop, your hand held Ham HT/WalkieTalkie thing( as many as you can, for monitoring various chanels ) and headsets for your phone and your radio ( it gets super noisy in that room as the different teams start rolling in )
* break out the donated single-band radio from the waterproof case under the reserved desk. Fire it up and start looking for radio traffic via '''CMD31''' then the Sherrifs on '''CTL35''' and finally the VTACs ( tactical channels, if you can hear them. )
** set up a CommNet, ask for check-ins by region/hamlet/township, log check-ins
* set up the FEMA designated documents ( standard as from CERT TRAINING )
** she's going to cook up some blank FEMA Communications Plan documents with the common radio repeaters used coastside
* use white board to start a map of the incident
* Phone is to be answered. '''THERE IS A SCRIPT SOMEWHERE! JUST TAKE INFO!'''

 The exercises script also called for testing 6 Meter communications. This is a longer range band licensed Hams can use. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6-meter_band ) and is sometimes called 'The Magic Band.'  The radios at the EOC don't operate at that band, but Brian at South Skyline was able to relay a request. Unfortunately it turned out that they could hear him pretty well but he couldn't hear them - the conclusion was that there was some kind of equipment problem.

 Man things seemed messed up. OEC repeater links are down and no one knows why, the local officials had said "Oh this exercise isn't including amature services" and later " where are the Ham volunteers? " goofus. OES was s upposed to distribute exercise documents but failed to.
