Tipka W8UL Ha'IHow Did We Get Here?$Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 Florida hurricanes in 2004 Gulf coast catastrophe 2005  Katrina and Rita hurricanes Earthquake and tsunami in Indian Ocean Forest fires in western United States Major flooding in numerous US rivers Where We Need To Be!$Eliminate the weaknesses in our ability to respond effectively and efficiently to any size disasters. Use all available infrastructures for routine operations. Keep technical training and proficiency in step with new technological developments.Where We Need To Be!$Establish, improve and maintain coordination and liaison with organizations and agencies. Recruit and train more volunteers to become qualified communicators. 7Facing the Facts$We are not first or even second responders and the  big dog in emergency communications. Sophisticated emergency telecommunications have been speeded up by public service agencies. We need to catch up with technological developments and become better organized, more capable, and quicker on the scene after our help is requested. LZL8Facing the Facts$`Forget about how we have always done it and begin thinking outside of the box. Timeliness is the key issue. We must arrive before our window of usefulness closes. Our perceived dependency on emergency communications as a reason for amateur radio to exist means that we must now perform more quickly and smarter with new techniques and new leadership. ._ZZ`Committee Recommendations $Develop a tutorial for installation, configuration, and use of Winlink2000 for e-mail. Create a national volunteer database. Investigate use of universal nationally recognized credentials. 2&Committee Recommendations$;Improve working relationships with national-level served agencies. Train staff in the Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) Look at disaster vulnerabilities of Sections outside of the continental United States. Initiate a Major Disaster Emergency Coordinator (MDEC) function. <Z<P T#Messaging Implementation$High perpetual priority to enhance training in basic message handling and voice procedure. Establish semi-automatic networks alongside of voice and CW nets. Nets use all frequencies and modes of message transport available  NTS-D, Winlink 2000, WiFi, RTTY, CW, etc.. Continuing education course for installation, configuration, and use of Winlink 2000 system.ii>Z 3Formal Written Messaging$Formal message handling is a important part of emergency communications. Today s rapid throughput and high accuracy of Internet communications make the challenge for Amateur Radio messaging logarithmically greater. Tactical vs Formal: e.g. voice on VHF/UHF FM vs transmission of detailed lists of shelter occupants. Three components  origination, transport, deliveryoo,!h) Messaging Networks$|Manual  at least two operators, but for long distance, additional operators needed for transport phase. Semi-automatic  manual origination but automatic systems for transport and delivery phases. Semi-automatic  high speed, greater accuracy, specific and detailed addresses, and need equipment at origination phase.??* Messaging Networks$NTS-Digital and Winlink 2000 are examples of automatic and semi-automatic networks. Semi-automatic networks should be a priority for surviving and mutual assistance resources, but not to the exclusion of voice networks. High priority real-time communications require use of real-time mode networks, such as voice. The greatest value to the customer is provided when all available communications networks are used. :d,  Suggested Messaging Improvements!!$Message priorities  set outgoing priority higher than incoming priority for inquiry messages into the affected area. Add e-mail addresses to radiograms. Shelter occupants be permitted full use of health and welfare messaging. Where available, use Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Vehicles (ECV) or trailers outfitted with high speed communications equipment.qZq-Validate Message Handling$Committee recommended that ARRL Hq staff work with NTS Area Staff to design and implement nationwide messaging drills and exercises to measure accuracy, efficiency and efficacy of the National Traffic System. Message accuracy is the key objective to be reached.  <Winlink 2000 Tutorial$A locally developed tutorial for Winlink 2000 installation and configuration in text format is available at: http://www.ohioaresdist7.org/tutorial.html A locally developed Powerpoint tutorial that parallels the text-based tutorial is also available at the URL above.6 S,! U=National ARES Database$Be prepared to send large numbers of well-qualified communicators to affected areas. Listing of ARES operators who are trained, equipped, and prepared for immediate deployment outside of their home Sections. To be used only when disaster requires more communications than can be provided by the local resources in the affected area. Does not undercut Section ARES. Funded by a Corporation for National and Community Service grant.Z?National ARES Database$Volunteers listed through Field Organization chain-of-command. Listing in database from recommendation of home Section Manager (SM). SM may choose to delegate to SEC or STM. Volunteers must be self-reliant and self-sufficient as persons and as Amateur Radio operators.
