Download or read book Amateur Radio Emergency Services Emcomm Companion written by Doug Abramson and published by . This book was released on 2022-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of many of the authors teaching in a live environment. Most of the content of this book is centered around Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) in Emergency Communications (EmComm) environments. ARES is a volunteer organization training in providing emergency communication for private and governmental institutes that are need of communications support.The focus of this book is to provide the basic information needed for the Amateur Radio Emergency Services operator in order to develop the mental understanding of emergency communications and how to fit into that world. Thus the content of this book in aimed for the ARES side of radio communications. However, there is information that is applicable to the general ham radio operator. Soft skills are mostly logical thought process. Soft skills just require you to sit down, relax, and think your way through a situation, or task. Out of that thought process you should develop an outline of what needs to be done, when to do that task, and how that task is to be accomplished.Hard skills covers the some what harder skills to learn. But this does not mean that these are the last things to learn. It is my belief that learning the digital communications (Packet, WinLink, and FlDigi) as soon as possible. Digital communication is the future of radio communications. There are ARES organizations that have made WinLink as their major communications mode of operations. But in order to logically progress to these skill your station need to be assembled, you get some "air time" under your belt, you learn how to be a worker bee, develop some hidden knowledge that is developed only through "air time", develop some leadership skills, then finish with more advanced hardware for your station. Enjoy.DougKA7FOO

Download or read book National Emergency Communications Plan written by U. s. Department of Homeland Security and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day in cities and towns across the Nation, emergency response personnel respond to incidents of varying scope and magnitude. Their ability to communicate in real time is critical to establishing command and control at the scene of an emergency, to maintaining event situational awareness, and to operating overall within a broad range of incidents. However, as numerous after-action reports and national assessments have revealed, there are still communications deficiencies that affect the ability of responders to manage routine incidents and support responses to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other incidents. Recognizing the need for an overarching emergency communications strategy to address these shortfalls, Congress directed the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) to develop the first National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP). Title XVIII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 United States Code 101 et seq.), as amended, calls for the NECP to be developed in coordination with stakeholders from all levels of government and from the private sector. In response, DHS worked with stakeholders from Federal, State, local, and tribal agencies to develop the NECP—a strategic plan that establishes a national vision for the future state of emergency communications. To realize this national vision and meet these goals, the NECP established the following seven objectives for improving emergency communications for the Nation's Federal, State, local, and tribal emergency responders: 1. Formal decision-making structures and clearly defined leadership roles coordinate emergency communications capabilities. 2. Federal emergency communications programs and initiatives are collaborative across agencies and aligned to achieve national goals. 3. Emergency responders employ common planning and operational protocols to effectively use their resources and personnel. 4. Emerging technologies are integrated with current emergency communications capabilities through standards implementation, research and development, and testing and evaluation. 5. Emergency responders have shared approaches to training and exercises, improved technical expertise, and enhanced response capabilities. 6. All levels of government drive long-term advancements in emergency communications through integrated strategic planning procedures, appropriate resource allocations, and public-private partnerships. 7. The Nation has integrated preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery capabilities to communicate during significant events. The NECP also provides recommended initiatives and milestones to guide emergency response providers and relevant government officials in making measurable improvements in emergency communications capabilities. The NECP recommendations help to guide, but do not dictate, the distribution of homeland security funds to improve emergency communications at the Federal, State, and local levels, and to support the NECP implementation. Communications investments are among the most significant, substantial, and long-lasting capital investments that agencies make; in addition, technological innovations for emergency communications are constantly evolving at a rapid pace. With these realities in mind, DHS recognizes that the emergency response community will realize this national vision in stages, as agencies invest in new communications systems and as new technologies emerge.
