BRAND NEW: FEMA released its updated National Incident Management System (NIMS) documentation. We encourage all ARES Members to be familiar with this system. This system is covered in the FEMA Course IS-700x… x being the most recent version available, which is currently 700a… the 700b version will be available once the disaster responses settle down.
VHF Emergency Practice Net
RI ARES will be commencing a monthly VHF emergency practice net every 3rd Tuesday of the month at 9pm following the Ocean State Emergency Communications Alliance Net on the KA1RCI repeater network. Once a month, we will have fun with various emergency scenarios and drills. All licensed hams are welcome. For more information, contact one of the ARES Leadership members.
