Level 2 -- Alert Notice
- What are the conditions?
- A city has activated their RACES group, even at a precautionary level, in anticipation of a possible storm, city event, or other condition that may develop into a situation requiring RACES response.
- What will be the notification?
- An ALERT Notification message will be placed on the SCCo ARES/RACES web site (www.scc-ares-races.org) giving information about the situation as it develops. An email containing this notification will be sent to the scc-ec email group, and to the Santa Clara County MAC email group. If ARES/RACES hams have provided AlertSCC information in our database they may also receive an Alert notification. This ALERT notification will be announced hourly on the 146.115 repeater (AA6BT), which may be linked to other Resource Net repeaters.
- What response is expected?
- Hams are to be aware that they may be called in response to changing conditions. They should be sure their equipment is packed and be ready for dispatch. They should monitor the 146.115 repeater and the SCCo ARES/RACES web site for updates.
