Tonight the Shelby County Amateur Radio Club (SCARC) meet at the Shelby County EMA in Columbiana. This is always a good meeting because we can get familiar with the building layout, the radios, and any procedures that we'd need to follow. Since a number of the hams in the club are CERT members, FEMA training has already been taken by some.
Don Greene, the EMA Supervisor for Shelby County was there and discussed a program he was willing to put on for the club. This training would be a "crash course" in the FEMA IS-100 and IS-700 courses. Those taking the course could then take the test for certification.
We stood in line for ID photo's so that we could be issued Shelby County EMA badges.
Bill, KW4J described an interesting intellectual challenge that would assist us in handling the net control duties in a disaster. This program will be put on at a future club meeting.
And last, but certainly not the least, we discussed the club's repeater and some of the options facing the club.
All in all it was a fun night!
73,
Rod, N1YZ
