SUBJECT:  TNG  -  Training for RACES people  -  Part 1/3
     What kind of training could or should be given RACES
operators by disaster response (OES, CD, etc.) organizations? The
following are some worthwhile meeting and training topics
submitted by volunteers and paid staff in California, Nevada,
Colorado and Utah.  Every effort to provide handouts should be
made. A three-ring binder format is successful.
     These are not shown in any particular order of priority nor
does it reflect ALL the topics that could be covered.  These are
simply the most common topics that should be covered for all
Amateur Radio operators assigned to a local government's RACES
unit.
1. Write or update the RACES Plan.
2. Agency policies, procedures, practices and philosophies.
3. Message form and message center (handling) procedures. Keep it
simple!
4. Names and titles of key local government leaders, department
heads, and division chiefs.
5. Incident Command System (ICS) and ICS communications.
6. Mission of the organization.
7. Inter-agency relationships.
8. Inter-government relationships.
(To be continued in the next Bulletin)
