What’s that noise? Oh, this bed is so nice and warm… ZZZZZ… what’s that noise? It’s my text alert… must be a bug on one of the security cameras, it’s still dark… ZZZZ… Darn there it is again, just the repeat of the camera bug alert… wait, two alerts in a row, Darn what’s going on? Ughh, wake up, uggh… “New event. Severe Thunderstorm warning from…” UH oh, when did that happen, no watch? I thought it wasn’t supposed to rain this morning, much less be severe. Cobwebs not clearing well in my head… wait, who has the SKYWARN Net? Oh crud, it’s me…
I’ll begin with a few ARES calendar items and see where this goes.
Recently the AECs held a planning session for the coming months – training topics, nets, and focus on 2016’s idea of being aware of how the organizations we serve operate. The idea is if we know what they might be up to, ARES might be better prepared to help them communicate. So, some of our training this year will include attempts to include presentations on their operational procedures and structure. We might learn some of the key “vocabulary” words they use, and become more aware of how our abilities fit their needs.
