SUBJECT: MISC - Responders and their vehicles - Part 2/4
(2) What is your role? This may well determine your type of
vehicle and how it is equipped. Some personnel need basically to
transport their equipment, tools, or supplies to a specific site,
unload, setup, and go to work. Other responders may be overhead
or supervisory personnel. Their transportation needs are
basically the ability to go anywhere at any time. It may be
important to be able to transport other emergency workers from
one place to another during the incident.
Some communications personnel may choose to fulfill the need
for a completely self-contained mobile communications station. In
other words, they go to a site and set up a communications relay
or terminal. They respond preparedto be totally self-sufficient
for several days.
Overhead personnel may need multiple mobile radios to
communicate with several services other than the one to which
they may be attached. Right or wrong, officials of other agencies
may use you and your vehicle at any time or place and expect that
you have the capability to communicate with their service. It
never hurts to have every communications capability, particularly
with and for your local agencies and organizations.
(3) Climate and terrain may dictate what is appropriate for
a response vehicle. Don't try to take an inappropriate vehicle
where a 4-wheel drive or truck is called for.
