Emg Comm

Only after you have checked on the safety of

1. Yourself

2. Your Family

3. Your Home

Then you are ready to help the community.

Safety is always your top priority.

Communications is essential to safety.

After a large-scale earthquake in our area, the existing communications systems may not be available either due to physical damage or system overload. Wires to telephones may be damaged and cellular phone towers and antennas may fail or lose power.

Important Rules for Radio Operations

1.

Listen BEFORE talking.
2.

Press the PTT (talk button) and then WAIT 1 to 2 seconds. If you do not, the first part of your communications may not be heard.
3.

Say who you want to talk to FIRST. People listen for their names, not yours, so always state their name or call sign or role name FIRST.
4.

State your name, or call sign, or role (Net Control) next.
5.

Hold the PTT an additional 1 to 2 seconds, so they hear the full transmission.
6.

Wait for the other party to acknowledge your call.
7.

Say your message, slowly, clearly, concisely, and spell confusing names. Remember the two second rules.
8.

Wait for the other party to acknowledge the message. Remember, the communication is not complete until the other party acknowledges the message. Another station could have been transmitting at the same time and over-powered your transmission.

The NCS has a very challenging role. In large emergencies, people are nervous and talk quickly. The NCS has to write the critical information and then forward it to an Emergency Operation Center.

The EOC communications forms break the message down to groups of five words.

EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION PRIORITY

After a large earthquake, there may be hundreds or thousand of emergencies, and hundreds or thousands of people needing help. The County's in a disaster will not have the resources to help everyone, and the Net Control Stations (NCS's) cannot talk to everyone at the same time. Accordingly, the following are the priority assignments for messages.

1.

Life Threatening (Some forms list this as URGENT).
2.

Property Threatening (Some forms list this as IMMEDIATE)
3.

Routine (Some forms list this as INFORMATION)

The NCS needs to handle the highest priorities first, before handling lower priorities.

United States of America

In the United States, there are two major methods of organizing amateur radio emergency communications: the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES), an organization of amateur operators sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL); and the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES), a radio service regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. RACES requires registration with a local civil defense organization, to allow continued operation under Part 97.407[2] of the FCC regulations in the event the Amateur Service is ever shut down by presidential order. ARES and RACES involvement within the same area are usually intertwined, with many governments requiring membership and service in that locale's ARES organization as well. Many government Emergency Operations Centers, Red Cross Chapters and National Weather Service facilities have permanent Amateur Radio stations installed.

Radio clubs independent of the ARRL and ARES also participate in emergency communications activities in some areas, and some non-radio organizations have their own amateur arm. The Department of Defense sponsors the Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS) program which utilizes Amateur Radio operators for emergency communication using military radio frequencies. The National Weather Service Skywarn weather-spotter program has a strong amateur radio contingent. And amateurs dedicated to the Salvation Army are organized under their Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network program.

Emergency communications and disaster assistance is usually done in conjunction with volunteer disaster relief organizations such as the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, local government emergency management agencies, as well as volunteer fire departments and ambulance corps.

§97.407 Radio amateur civil emergency service.

(a) No station may transmit in RACES unless it is an FCC-licensed primary, club, or military recreation station and it is certified by a civil defense organization as registered with that organization, or it is an FCC-licensed RACES station. No person may be the control operator of a RACES station, or may be the control operator of an amateur station transmitting in RACES unless that person holds a FCC-issued amateur operator license and is certified by a civil defense organization as enrolled in that organization.

(b) The frequency bands and segments and emissions authorized to the control operator are available to stations transmitting communications in RACES on a shared basis with the amateur service. In the event of an emergency which necessitates invoking the President's War Emergency Powers under the provisions of section 706 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. 606, RACES stations and amateur stations participating in RACES may only transmit on the frequency segments authorized pursuant to part 214 of this chapter.

(c) A RACES station may only communicate with:

(1) Another RACES station;

(2) An amateur station registered with a civil defense organization;

(3) A United States Government station authorized by the responsible agency to communicate with RACES stations;

(4) A station in a service regulated by the FCC whenever such communication is authorized by the FCC.

(d) An amateur station registered with a civil defense organization may only communicate with:

(1) A RACES station licensed to the civil defense organization with which the amateur station is registered;

(2) The following stations upon authorization of the responsible civil defense official for the organization with which the amateur station is registered:

(i) A RACES station licensed to another civil defense organization;

(ii) An amateur station registered with the same or another civil defense organization;

(iii) A United States Government station authorized by the responsible agency to communicate with RACES stations; and

(iv) A station in a service regulated by the FCC whenever such communication is authorized by the FCC.

(e) All communications transmitted in RACES must be specifically authorized by the civil defense organization for the area served. Only civil defense communications of the following types may be transmitted:

(1) Messages concerning impending or actual conditions jeopardizing the public safety, or affecting the national defense or security during periods of local, regional, or national civil emergencies;

(2) Messages directly concerning the immediate safety of life of individuals, the immediate protection of property, maintenance of law and order, alleviation of human suffering and need, and the combating of armed attack or sabotage;

(3) Messages directly concerning the accumulation and dissemination of public information or instructions to the civilian population essential to the activities of the civil defense organization or other authorized governmental or relief agencies; and

(4) Communications for RACES training drills and tests necessary to ensure the establishment and maintenance of orderly and efficient operation of the RACES as ordered by the responsible civil defense organizations served. Such drills and tests may not exceed a total time of 1 hour per week. With the approval of the chief officer for emergency planning the applicable State, Commonwealth, District or territory, however, such tests and drills may be conducted for a period not to exceed 72 hours no more than twice in any calendar year.

Emergency Communications "Q&A"

How can I listen to Amateur Radio Transmissions?

The radios that Amateurs use to communicate are not inexpensive, largely because they transmit as well as receive. Fortunately, receive-only radios, such as those in your car, are much less expensive. The radio in your car can't tune the ham bands, but receive-only radios that are capable of listening to ham transmissions are affordable. The type of radio you need depends on how far apart the transmitting stations are.

What are Shortwave Radios?

Amateurs use what are called high frequencies (HF) to communicate over long distances. HF is used for wide-area operations, such as the Hurricane Watch Net. The international broadcasters (BBC, Voice of America, Deutsche Welle) that you can receive on shortwave radios use other parts of the same frequency range.

Properly equipped shortwave radios can play ham transmissions. You should make sure the radio you choose is equipped to receive single sideband (SSB). Amateurs use SSB instead of AM because it takes up less space, and more stations can fit in the band.

What are Scanners good for during an emergency?

In order to communicate locally, Amateurs use what are called very high and ultra high frequencies. The most widely known occupants of the VHF/UHF bands are broadcast TV and radio stations. Business, public safety, and Amateur operation also takes place there, and these types of signals may be detected by scanners.

Scanners can be programmed to stay on one frequency to monitor Amateur use. You should make sure that the scanner you buy covers 144-148 MHz and 440-450 MHz in order to monitor the most widely used Amateur frequencies.

Where do I tune?

The frequencies used vary among events, situations, and localities. The Hurricane Watch Net is probably the most widely followed HF operation. It meets on 14325 kHz upper sideband during the day, sometimes moving to 3950 kHz lower sideband at night.

Most statewide operations are conducted between 3900 and 4000 kHz lower sideband on HF. Most local operations are between 145 and 148 MHz on VHF. Your ARRL Section Manager can also help you find the appropriate frequencies in your area.

I'm a broadcaster. Can I retransmit this stuff?

The answer, under 47 CFR 73.1207 (c)(3) is yes. While Amateur Radio can't be actively used for broadcast news gathering purposes, except in very specific circumstances, it can be passively used.

SCERS Operation Plan
SCERS Operation Plan - Sevier County Emergency Radio
ALWAYS - SAFETY FIRST If any action requested involves risk, the person should NOT take the action and should notify net control that he/she will not be performing the action requested, along with a statement of the risk assessment.
2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 The Sevier County Emergency Radio Service (SCERS) is a field organization of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and is composed of FCC licensed amateur radio operators who are trained emergency communicators, volunteering personal time, skill and equipment to serve in the public interest.
2.2 The Sevier County ARES functions in this Emergency Communications Plan under the direction of the ARES Sevier County Emergency Coordinator (EC). EC will be recommended to the SEC for ARRL appointment.The EC must be Ecom level one or above and be in good standing with ARRL.
The EC may appoint Assistant Emergency Coordinators (AEC¿s) as needed..The AEC must be Ecom level one or above and be in good standing with ARRL.
2.3 The EC or AEC may appoint Net Control Stations (NCS¿s), whose primary duty is to activate Sevier County ARES if needed.
2.4 When activated, the EC or NCS performing the activation will become the ARES Officer In Charge (OIC), or will designate an OIC. The OIC will be the final authority within Sevier County ARES for the event.
3. PURPOSE
3.1 The purpose of this plan is to provide a written guide containing the minimum information needed in an emergency. Each emergency is different and flexibility is necessary to provide an adequate response.
3.2 The primary responsibility of the Sevier County Radio Emergency Service is to furnish emergency communications in the event of a natural or a man made emergency when regular communications fail or become inadequate or overloaded.
3.3 Drills, training and instruction shall be carried out to ensure readiness to respond quickly in providing effective amateur emergency communications.
3.4 Following is a list of jurisdictions/agencies that will be served, as requested, in an emergency. Other city and/or state agencies will be served as requested by the Sevier County Office¿s of Emergency Management.
3.4.1 Incorporated jurisdictions in the greater Sevier County metropolitan area.
3.4.2 The unincorporated area or populations under the authority of the Sevier County Office of Emergency Management.
3.4.3 The American Red Cross

3.5 Sevier County ARES may provide volunteer communications support for other public events in non-emergency situations.
3.6 Sevier County ARES may monitor 146.940 Repeater, Net when weather conditions warrant and reports to the National Weather Service (NWS). No request from a served agency is needed.
4. PLAN ACTIVATION
4.1 Any member of the Sevier County ARES who becomes aware that a communications emergency exists, should contact the EC, a NCS, or an AEC and monitor the current assigned Resource and Tactical net frequencies. A member may also contact the Offical Emergency Station, (OES) by the OES pager number or by paging the EC, AEC, NCS or DEC direct.
4.2 Operators are forbidden to go to the site of any emergency event unless authorized to do so by Net Control.Net Control will only authorize operators to go to the site of an emergency event if the appropriate served agency requests ARES help at that site. The request, requester name, title, served agency, and time should be documented in the net log. NOTE: Currently mobile units may stagein the parking lots of pre-defined staging areas which are: EOC, Sevierville Police and Sevier Parks and Recreation Department Community Recreation Centers.
4.3 The EC, Designated NCS, or Assistant EC shall be notified by telephone or pager. Other methods including amateur radio or courier may be used if needed.
4.4 In any emergency in which amateur radio is requested to serve, amateur radio operators may be alerted by any Emergency Management Coordinator, Red Cross, or state official notifying the EC or designated NCS. If the EC and NCS are unavailable, notify an AEC. The AEC will periodically attempt to contact the EC and Duty Officer. The EC or designated Duty Officer who activates ARES will become the ARES Officer in Charge (OIC). The ARES OIC will document the name, title, and served agency of the requester.
4.5 The ARES OIC will be in charge of all ARES operations during any emergency activation. He/she will be the top Sevier County ARES authority for the event. All ARES participants will take direction from him/her. The OIC may change during the event at the discretion of the OIC or EC.
5. MOBILIZATION
5.1 The OIC or designee will notify ARES members by using pagers, telephone and other systems if available. E-mail may also be used when appropriate.
5.2 [deleted]
5.3 If necessary, the telephone tree will be activated. If telephone service is not available, notification will be by radio and/or runner, as necessary.
5.4 Upon notification that a communications emergency exists, members of the Sevier County Amateur Radio Emergency Service will listen to the frequency and will only check in if they have urgent information or when the Net Control Station (NCS) asks for checkins on the Sevier County Emergency Net. Stations will maintain radio silence, unless they have business with the net.
6. DUTIES OF NET CONTROL STATION (NCS)
6.1 OPEN NETS
The Sevier County Emergency Net will be activated by the Net Control Station. Based upon the facts, stations will be fully advised as to the nature of the emergency.Net control will establish backup frequencies and a backup NCS station.As appropriate, net control will periodically announce that a net is in progress, give brief summaries, and remind users of backup frequencies and backup net control, etc.
6.2 CHECK IN STATIONS
Stations will be checked in from their home stations, mobiles, and portable stations. All stations shall stand by for further instructions. An inventory list will be made of operators and equipment for possible assignment as relief operators.
6.3 Mobile and portable stations will be dispatched as needed either to a ¿Staging¿ location or directly to the incident site as determined by the OIC. OIC must notify NCS which Agency Official, by name and title, requested our deployment should our deployed units encounter a restricted access condition or other challenges. The location of each will be noted at all times by the NCS.
6.4 Each site will have a designated Communications Supervisor (CS) who will coordinate amateur communication at their specific deployment site.
7 OPERATIONS
7.1 MESSAGES
7.1.1 Formal Messages:
Formal messages are those which are written in a standard format. All messages which request material or services which may require payment or replacement must be formal messages.
Message Forms:
All formal messages must be written in standard ARRL format unless otherwise directed by the served agency.It is strongly encouraged to restrict messages to 25 words or less, particularly if the message will be relayed multiple times or sent out of the area. Messages over 25 words are much less likely to reach their destination quickly. Operators receiving messages from officials should encourage the officials to produce messages in 25 words or less to ensure prompt and reliable delivery.The served agency representative can create his/her printed message on the Message Forms provided by the radio operator for that purpose.
Message Precedence:
The operator must assign the message an ARRL PRECEDENCE, defined on ARRL CD Form #3.
This PRECEDENCE will be used on all messages.Any operator receiving messages should check the precedence of messages received for EMERGENCY precedence messages.Anyone giving messages to an operator should check the messages and inform the operator if any of the messages are of EMERGENCY precedence. The person passing the messages should be sure the receiving operator acknowledges this precedence.
Requester name:
All FORMAL MESSAGES require the PRINTED NAME, TITLE, SERVED AGENCY and SITE of the requester .All requests to dispatch operators to a location require PRINTED NAME, TITLE, SERVED AGENCY and SITE of the requester. These requests should be written down in the net log.MESSAGES RECEIVED REQUESTING MATERIALS OR SERVICES WHICH MAY LATER REQUIRE PAYMENT or REPAYMENT OF FUNDS WILL NOT BE TRANSMITTED UNTIL THEY CONTAIN THE PRINTED NAME, TITLE, SERVED AGENCY AND SITE OF THE REQUESTER.
Save Messages:
All operators must save a copy of all formal messages.
7.1.2 Tactical Messages
Tactical Emergency messages, such as FIRE, POLICE or Life-or-Death situations do NOT require NUMBERS. These are first priority messages and we use ¿Break, Break!¿ to get attention of the NCS between transmissions. When accepting such messages for transmission, require only the following information:
A. To (Example: Sevierville Fire Department)
B. What (Example: Pumper truck needed ASAP)
C. Why (Example: Structure fire)
D. Where (Example: Sevier County High School)
E. Who (Lt. Scott Gibson, Sevierville Fire Department)
7.2 TRANSMITTING Stations must not transmit unless invited to do so by the Net Control (NCS).
7.2.1 Exceptions: A.
Stations having tactical emergency traffic.
B. As designated in the standard operating procedure of Amateur Radio.
7.2.2 Keep transmissions short and to the point.All stations, including net control, should leave frequent gaps in their transmissions for emergency traffic. (Long enough for someone to recognize the gap and call ¿BREAK BREAK.¿)
7.3 COMMUNICATIONS METHODS
Operators should use the most efficient method available to transmit their message. If available and appropriate, use the telephone, cell phone, internet, packet, foot, automobile, etc. The more traffic passed off the air, the more available ham radio is for traffic to/from locations without alternate means of communications.
8. DRILLS, TESTS AND ALERTS
8.1 An annual test will be conducted during the Fall of each year in conjunction with the nationwide Simulated Emergency Test (SET) sponsored by ARRL. Periodic exercises will be conducted in cooperation with the various Sevier County Emergency Management Coordinators.
8.2 The Sevier County Emergency Radio Service Training Net will be held at 7:30 P.M., local time, every Monday night, on the 146.940 MHz repeater. This weekly test will be preceeded by an all call activation at 7:00pm local time on the ARES- Pager Alerting System.
8.3 At the discretion of the EC, ARES will sponsor an unannounced activation at least once a year.
8.4 A Standard Operating Procedure detailing emergency response procedures and actions shall be written.
8.5 The Sevier County Emergency Radio Service Emergency Communications Plan and the Standard Operating Procedure shall be reviewed annually with updates as necessary to keep this plan current and viable.
