The above list shows the first four (primary) leadership people for Carroll County ARES operations. If the person at the beginning of the list (N3JIA) is not able to be contacted then in order attempts to contact the next people on the list should occur. If none of the first four (primary) leaders are available, move to the AEC List and attempt to contact one of them.

It is unlikely that the whole list will all be unavailable at the same time. If this situation does develop (none of the ARES leadership or AEC92s are available) then Practiced ARES members that are available will initiate an ARES Net and provide support as needed for the situation.

1. Any ARES member can initiate an ARES Net if the need exists. First priority is to contact one of the Primary Leaders from the list.

 

2. Initiate a Resource Net while attempting to contact Leadership personnel. Pool your resources, this will speed the activation when the ARES Leaders arrive.

 

3. Do Not begin Tactical Operations until ARES Leadership people have been contacted. If after attempting to contact each person on the list of leaders unsuccessfully, then a Tactical Net can be started. Attempts must continue to try and reach one of the ARES Leaders as soon as possible.

 

4. Using their best judgement, ARES Members can evaluate a situation and initiate a net as required (take action). Be mindful that if leadership people are not available, Served Agency Contact resources will not be available. Verification of served a agency need for ARES may not have occurred. Be careful, ARES needs to be serving one of our clients.
