Calvert County ARES Emergency Coordinator
Wed 19 November 2014
Earlier this month I volunteered to
take over the position of ARES Emergency Coordinator (EC) for Calvert
County. The previous EC had gotten busy in other areas and decided it
was time to step down. I've held this position before but in a different
location so while the job isn't completely foreign to me, well, it's
been a while. I've been working on a new emergency operations plan (EOP)
for ARES that's more of an all-hazards plan than laying out specifics.
Once that is complete I'll start trying to get people to work on
developing training and training topics.
At last night's ARES meeting I was happy to have fifteen people join me in a review and feedback session on the new EOP. I'm hoping the momentum continues as I plan more training and exercises for the next few months. I'll try to write about those events here when I get them complete.
