Overall Event:  This is a county-wide exercise focused on emergency communications.  It is designed to provide participants with valuable in-field operating experience.  It will include several fun and challenging assignments.  Of course, standard County procedures will be used:  Resource Net, ICS documentation, Performance Standards and Best Practices.

Packet Assignment:  Dedicated focus on assembling, configuring and operating a packet station such as might be found at any EOC in the county.

There is a packet "Get On The Air" activity as part of the Field Operator signup for anyone who would like to give packet a try.  Mentors will be available to help you through the process of sending a message--packet equipment will be provided.

Info for MACs and MITs:  Mutual Aid Communicators (MACs) and MACs in Training (MITs) will still receive the same challenging assignments as others, but you can also sign up for evaluations for MAC qualifications.
