Emergency Communications


Scott Morse, KC6SKM

This presentation will explain what emergency communications are and how they differ from public service events and casual conversations.

We will cover different types of assignments and the types of Nets that might be used. We'll look at various ICS forms, their uses, and why keeping good records is important. We will also talk about message passing and tracking.
About Scott:
Scott has been licensed for over 20 years. His main interest has been in emergency communications. He spent more than 12 years volunteering with Santa Clara County OES for ARES/RACES/ACS. In Santa Clara County, ARES/RACES was considered one word. He served as the Chief Radio Officer and District Emergency Coordinator there. He was also the ARRL Section Emergency Coordinator for the Santa Clara Valley Section and later for the East Bay Section. Scott has worked in EOC for fires, earthquakes, floods, fiber optic cable cuts, and hurricanes in Florida.

He was the communications person for the County Search & Rescue Team. After moving to Contra Costa County, he joined the Sheriff's Communications Unit and helped with training programs. He also became a RADO (Radio Operator) for AUXCOM (Auxiliary Communications). About seven years ago, he moved to Palm Desert and joined Riverside County RACES, serving as the East County Operations Section Chief. Currently, he doesn't hold a leadership position with RACES. He is a member of ARES and the Director of the EOC for the Sun City Palm Desert Emergency Preparedness Committee.
