SUBJECT: OPS - Responder's checklist
The following was prepared by the Santa Barbara Amateur Radio
Club. Please pass on to your Radio Officer.
Are you ready?
All ARES members should have a "ready bag" packed and
available to grab when a callout comes. Even Net Controllers will need
forms and supplies at hand for immediate use and personal items if
responding to the van. What you have in your pack will depend on your
duties. Some will be available to fit everything in a briefcase or tote
bag; others will need a duffel bag.
It's a good idea for all Amateurs to have some gear in one place,
because you never know when a disaster might strike -- even if it's not a
callout.
Here are some *suggestions*. Perhaps it will get you started on
making your own list so you can pack your bag. Keep your list handy so
you can grab your last-minute items normally kept elsewhere or actively
used.
PERSONAL ITEMS: Uniform, ID cards, FCC and DMV licenses.
Safety equipment: flashlight, goggles, dust mask, gloves, hearing
protection, rain gear, chem-lights. Personal items (for 24-hour
duration): food and utensils, water, first aid supples, waterproof
matches or cigarette lighter, extra prescription glasses, personal
medicines, personal hygiene items, extra clothing, sleeping bag or
"space blanket, change for telephone call.
ADMINISTRATIVE: Notepad, writing implements, maps, log
sheets, phone lists, clock, frequency lists, repeater directory. You might
also like to tip out the white pages of the phone book, or at least the
front section, which gives all sorts of useful information.
COMMUNICATIONS: Transceiver, portable transceiver,
headphones, microphone, power supply/batteries/battery pack,
adapters, antennas, cigarette lighter adapter, patch cords, barrel
connectors, elbows, pocket knife, fuses, alligator clips, solder and iron,
SWR bridge, VOM,
TOOL KIT: Screwdriver, pliers, dikes, black tape, extension cord
with multiple outlet, adapters, light nylon cord.
