EMERGENCY COORDINATOR
The ARRL Emergency Coordinator is a key team player in ARES on the
local emergency communications scene. Working with the Section
Emergency Coordinator, the DEC and Official Emergency Stations, the
EC prepares for, and engages in management of communications needs in
disasters. EC duties include:
1. Promote and enhance the activities of the Amateur Radio
Emergency Service (ARES) for the benefit of the public as a voluntary,
non-commercial communications service.
2. Manage and coordinate the training, organization and emergency
participation of interested amateurs working in support of the
communities, agencies or functions designated by the Section Emergency
Coordinator/Section Manager.
3. Establish an emergency communications plan for the communities
and agencies that will effectively utilize ARES members to cover the
needs for tactical and formal Welfare message traffic.
4. Establish a viable working relationship with all federal,
state, county, city governmental and private agencies in the ARES
jurisdictional area which might need the services of ARES in
emergencies.
5. Establish local communications networks run on a regular basis
and periodically test those networks by conducting realistic drills.
6. Establish an emergency traffic plan, with Welfare traffic
inclusive, utilizing the National Traffic System as one active
component for traffic handling. Establish an operational liaison with
local and section nets, particularly for handling Welfare traffic in
an emergency situation.
7. In times of disaster, evaluate the communications needs of the
juris-diction and respond quickly to those needs. The EC will assume
authority and responsibility for emergency response and performance by
ARES personnel under his jurisdiction.
8. Do all that is possible to further the favorable image of
Amateur Radio by dedication to purpose and a thorough understanding of
the mission of Amateur Radio.
Requirements: Technician or higher class license; Full ARRL
membership.
Recruitment of new hams and League members is an integral part of the
job of every League appointee. Appointees should take advantage of every
opportunity to recruit a new ham or member to foster growth of Field
Organization programs, and our abilities to serve the public.
