PARTICIPATION:
Anyone can participate! Don’t have comms yet? You can simulate shutting your phone, power, and internet off and practice your preparedness plan, cook your food off grid, conduct first-aid training, practice using your water filters, test your solar battery lights. Use your imagination.
Individuals and Groups. Whether you’re an individual person going solo, or a family, church group, preparedness group, militia, county-wide network, etc., this is a great opportunity for you to simulate a gid-down emergency situation. Make up your own sub scenarios that are relevant to your own situation, practice your bugout or bug IN plan. Host preparedness training for the weekend (your home, church, VFW hall, etc.) giving updates to the group as news, information, and intelligence is received from the ongoing nets; Discuss what you would do if the news you received was real, or impacts or action items for your family or group.
The primary focus of the exercise is emergency communications. How would you get news and information in a grid-down emergency? Learn how you can stay informed, even if you’re not licensed, or don’t have HF (High Frequency/shortwave) transmitting capabilities. Here are some resources:
And also the latest video on how to receive HF communications, even if you’re not a licensed ham!
Communicators: This is a chance for you to practice using your communications equipment to stay informed and inform others. Put your gear and skills to the test and take notes on needed improvements. Did you have the right software, the signal operating instructions, the custom AmRRON forms, adequate power supply, etc.?
For the best experience, be sure to get a copy of the AmRRON SOI (Signals Operating Instructions) VERSION 5.0.
