Our SET objective will be to perform a damage assessment of our local area. We are recommending to start a net, have ARES members take a short (5 mile or so) drive or a short walk around the block, and photograph simulated damage. Any downed trees, old collapsed barns, or buildings being demolished as samples would be good. Forward all pictures to the EC. Preferably, we’ll use System Fusion, D-Star, etc. for those so equipped. Digital via FLDIGI is also an option.
EC’s will select the best 3 to 5 photos and forward the County Emergency Manager.
One objective of this exercise is to show EM’s how ARES/RACES can be a great asset after storms go through to assist the counties collecting data to forward to FEMA for Disaster Declarations and subsequent Disaster relief and aid.
Follow this post for updates as we near the SET date.
