+ | == Planning Section == | ||
+ | Will have made a determination what particular area needs to be given notification of a possible evacuation. And also see that we meet the Exercise objective(s). | ||
- | ==== | + | == Operations Section == |
+ | will be developing a plan to cover the area we have been assigned. This will be based on the amount of people that attend through the sign up sheet and actually show up. What will need to happen is for a Strike Team of three (one leader and two field personal) to go to an assigned area with the leader in a vehicle following the other members of the team down the road ways. What this does is to provide a good secure and accountable way to the field personal. Be aware that being highly visible is going to pay off for us here. The last thing we need is for us to look like we are blending into the area and appear as thieves or worse. When you start on the search area is going to be up to the Operations chief to appear to be efficient. | ||

- | + | ==== Communications unit ==== | |
- | to the | + | You’re going to need to have three FRS radios for each team using a different channel for each team. Each team will also have a portable big radio to keep in touch with the command post, held by the team leader in the vehicle. This will cut down on the chatter of everyone trying to see if someone is talking to them r not and also make us more efficient. |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | === Support Branch === | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ==== Transportation Unit ==== | |
- | + | A back up vehicle will need to be staffed for a possible evacuation of our own field personal. In this you will need to have a person who knows the area, map, big radio and a FRS radio with the list of what teams are using what. All communication will go through the Command Post. This is a way of covering our butts and also to replace personal that need to come out for various reasons (bio brake, pizza run) | |

- | + | ||

- | + | High visibility will be needed and identification too. This includes the general staff in the command post or operations section. | |
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | ||
- | + | Field personal will need to have a SAR Coat hopefully and or a high Visibility vest and ID. No need for a kit on your back as your vehicle can house your 24 hour pack. Water m first aid kit and snacks would be good to carry on you. Clothing for the environment, radio, maps and clip board, etc, will be needed. | |
+ | Overhead Team will need a command post fully stocked with local maps that are up to date. | ||
- | + | == Public Education == | |
- | + | Printed brochures from the government, local government brochures, PCSAR information possible with our next recruitment date and SAR course, bags to hang on door knobs with pamphlets in. |
