As mandated by the Department of Homeland Security and the State of Florida, the following training is now required for all ARES members and volunteers supporting emergency radio operations: NIMS 700 and IS 100
In addition to this EC's ,AEC's and Deputy EC are required to take: IS 200 These courses are sponsored and provided online at no cost by FEMA at the following web address: http://training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/crslist.asp
St. Johns county ARES is making plans now to offer classes to assist radio operators with obtaining these training courses. You are encouraged to go online however and take the courses from home. Once you register on the FEMA site you can take the courses at your leisure. You can study as long as you like and then come back to the course as often as you like until you have completed the entire course. The page remembers what you have completed at any given time and will pick up where you left off the last time you were logged into the course. It only takes a couple hours for each course and It's simple and easy as well as informative. Once you have completed one of the courses just send a quick email to the St. Johns County ARES EC, Doug, N4FPS and let him know you have completed the course. Doug's email address is carterdoug@bellsouth.net
In addition to these courses, all volunteers are encouraged to take the level 1 ARRL EmComm course and EC's AEC's and Deputy EC's are encouraged to take level I and II of the ARRL EmComm Courses. For more information please click on the CCEP image below.
