The PacFORMS Message Form for Mountain View CERT Teams

The forms listed below are customized to enable quick and easy reporting of summary Windshield Surveys to the Mountain View EOC via Packet.   You can right-click on an individual form and download it to your computer, or download the Zip file that contains all of the forms.   Copy all of the HTML forms to the C:\PacFORMS\exec directory.   Then update the Outpost file Launch.ini as directed below.

The 2.5.0 c31 version of Outpost has a feature that can launch a PacFORMS file from within Outpost, so that the next message number is automatically placed on the PacFORM.   To launch a PacFORMS file from Outpost, one clicks on the ICS Forms link on the File menu.   In order to add more forms to that list, one must edit a file called Launch.ini which exists in a sub-directory called SCCO Packet that is set up when Outpost is installed. The location of this directory is in different locatons depending upon the operaing system you have.   Included here is a file called Launch-additions.ini which can be added to the Launch.ini.   To find the location of that directory and how to update it , click on this link.
