  7. Each Team Leader sends their team’s form EMD-078, and a consolidated After Action Report (AAR), to the EC by Friday, November 6, 2020. Deployment location environment : Outdoors, likely no amenities, be prepared for rain. Equipment to Bring :
  • A mobile VHF/UHF radio (capable of at least 25 watts), APRS equipped if possible.
  • External antenna, mounted on vehicle or portable.
  • GPS unit or county road map (hard copy or download from https://www.ccareswa.org/system/files/library/Clark%20County%20Road%20%20Atlas %202019.pdf).
  • Current Handi-Card (Operating Aid, Tab 7), with extra ICS-213 and Radiogram forms.
  • A face mask as both a COVID-19 precaution and to protect from the direct effects of air currents that could carry Zombie pathogens or toxins.

Initial Tasking :

  • Area teams will be assigned incident response locations within an area roughly analogous to their team area boundaries.
  • Agency teams 8, 10, 11, and 12 will be deployed at the direction of the EC, and members may be assigned to assist Area teams.
  • Area Team Leaders will assign team members to visit the incident response locations enumerated in the initial Winlink tasking message. Operations :
  • There will be two simultaneous Net Control Stations (NCSs) in operation. The EC will assign each team to a repeater which geographically favors their portion of the county.
  • Team 9 members will operate from their homes and will monitor different frequencies (as assigned) to send and receive messages as if they were operating from their normal served-agency station at CRESA.
  • Team Leader tasks: ◦ When notified by the EC, activate the team. Make a list of exercise participants from the team, along with the (optional) APRS call sign and suffix, and report this information to the NCS upon initial Team Leader check-in. ◦ Receive a list and map of the incident response locations via Winlink. ◦ Coordinate team member activities using the team VHF/UHF channels. ◦ Assign members to incident response locations, and monitor the progress of each member. ◦ Take Zombie situation reports from team members. Notify the NCS that you have message(s) for CRESA, and pass the report(s) on the assigned repeater.
  • Member tasks: ◦ Travel to incident response locations as assigned by the Team Leader. ◦ When departing all locations, report current and destination locations to the Team Leader. If out of simplex radio range, report this to the NCS. ◦ Report response location arrival and give a Zombie situation report to the Team Leader. If out of simplex radio range, report this to the NCS. ◦ If met by an “agency” representative, contact the NCS to transmit: ▪ ICS-213 messages to CRESA. ▪ ARRL Radiograms to the National Traffic System liaison. ◦ If the Team Leader and NCS cannot be reached by radio from an assigned location, make reports and pass message traffic when back in radio range.
  • If a member is overdue reporting in, notify the EC immediately. Hot Wash : At the conclusion of the exercise, all members should participate in an on-the- radio “hot wash” (exercise debriefing, sharing of lessons learned, other feedback) which will be conducted by the EC on CLRK 2A. Demobilization :
  • After the exercise, members will check out with their Team Leader when they reach home (or other location unrelated to the exercise).
  • Once all team members have checked out with their Team Leader, that Team Leader will report this information to the EC.
