Emergency Communications – Amateur Radio Operator


Actions to take when activated for a field communications emergency assignment

Mission: To provide a plan for emergency communications support in the field and to integrate with the Incident Command System when in use.

Several references are made to roles (in italics) that are part of the Incident Command System. The ICS may or may not be in use in a particular event, or the full ICS structure may not be used at some locations. This document assumes that ICS is in use, but if that is not the case the references can be disregarded. ICS forms always should be used regardless.

Please refer to the following document.
