Northland ARES Sept Meeting
October 5th - SET EVENT
On the morning of October 5, 2019, a text-caster message will be sent to the North land ARES Team to put them on stand-by for the
S E T and give initial instructions for participation.
Scenarios:
Amateur radio operators are at home and have been notified via text-caster to standby to report in to your local nets.
Scenario – The planning team has chosen CCTA (Complex Coordinated Terrorist Attack)
There are many different scenarios to choose from and each jurisdiction can decide what works best for them. We will start the regional exercise at the point where the EM has activated the
EOC and amateur radio has been activated to support the jurisdiction.
Clay County
An “EXPLOSION” has occurred at the Pleasant Valley Baptist church in the Liberty, Mo. This has occurred as church members were leaving morning services. Law enforcement, Fire services, and
recovery teams will be involved in the process of Search & Rescue. A high volume of traffic on the public service communications system has triggered Law Enforcement to request Amateur radio ARES services be established to handle Logistical & Reunification functions. The use of Voice/Digital communications will be the focus .
Platte County
An “ACTIVE SHOOTER” event has been reported at the Zona Rosa shopping center in the North land enforcement and emergency services has established a perimeter around the area. Law enforcement teams have began the process of identifying each person and moving them to a Reunification center.
Law enforcement is experiencing high volumes of communications traffic. A request to activate the North land ARES to handle communications at the Command Center. The Reunification center will begin listing all vetted personal, Excel spreadsheets will be established to maintain records of all personal status. Voice & Digital communications will handle the transfer of data from the area to EOC's.
