This drill signup is for ARES members that will be assigned to a CERT
Command Post (CP) or Net Control to provide communication with the Mountain View
EOC with voice and Packet.
The CERT Teams will be surveying the neighborhoods simulating a full disaster survey.
Among other things, you will be reporting to EOC Net Control the status of
the surveys on the Mountain View Disaster Assessment forms by Voice or Packet.
We will try to assign you
to the CERT CP that you prefer, but if there are duplicates, or
other circumstances, you may be assigned elsewhere. For Voice communication,
you should have had either Mountain View or County training in message passing
as a minimum with some experience. If you are new with no formal training, we
will assign you to work with an experienced person. Drills are designed to
provide you with experience and the confidence to communicate effectively
in a real emergency.
This is the drill scenario. A major windstorm had hit the city in the morning
while many people were celebrating in a park. Buildings were damaged and
people were injured. CERT neighborhoods and ARES members were activated to
look for and report on damage and injuries.
The CERT groups will survey the neighborhood using the Damage Assessment form.
A summary of these forms will be given to the Ham radio operator to report
to ARES Net Control by Packet or voice so that the summaries can be displayed
in the MV EOC.
