| This drill involved every agency in the county and three surrounding area ARES teams. We setup our operations center, a communications trailer, and full Incident Command System to test out our policy and system. This was a mid-sized drill just to test those aspects. Operators were given assignments and "sent" out into the field to their assignment. The Red Cross responded to establish a shelter for the amateur radio operators to sleep in between operational periods. A concept Red Cross had not given thought to - supporting the working crews! They also brought their canteen to serve hot drinks and food. Over all 70 plus people were invovled in this drill as well as over 80 county agencies. |
