1. Call for ACS/ARES COMMAND PERSONNEL until one is reached
and can assume ACS/ARES command.
B. ACS/ARES net operations
1. Establish initial net operations on the 145.170 repeater,

volunteers in advance of possible shelter operations.
(See frequency assignment - Comm Plan)
4. Recruit someone to audio tape all nets.
5. Mention the current time frequently.
6. Establish a different repeater/frequency as a hot
backup. (See frequency assignment - Comm Plan)
7. All initial announcements are to be made on the primary
ACS/ARES frequency, then all personnel will move to their
assigned
operational frequencies.
8. All personnel should then be on the assigned Resource
Net frequency and remain there until assigned
and/or cleared by
the Resource Net Control Operator.
Assigned personnel should then be monitoring their assigned
net frequency.
9. All personnel should remain available unless excused by
the NCS on their assigned frequency.
C. Response destinations of ACS/ARES members if warranted by the
severity of events. The purpose of getting ACS/ARES members to
these destinations, is to have ACS/ARES ready to perform when
requested or needed. They are to OBSERVE AND REPORT
until
requested for particular needs. An example of the need for
ACS/ARES members to respond to an emergency scene would be
the
need to report damage assessment to the Red Cross and/or
NWS.
