[ARES-Alert] Activation of ARES Radio Operators
in Manitoba to support Manitoba Spring floodi March 26, 2009
Initial requests for assistance by ARES in
Manitoba have been received from Manitoba
Emergency Measures Organization and from the City
of Winnipeg Emergency Program.
Both organizations are in the process of
activating their Emergency Operations Centers and
have requested ARES radio operators to begin
staffing the radio room at the facilities beginning Monday March 30th, 2009.
Jeff Dovyak DEC Capitol Region advises that he
is beginning the process of scheduling ARES radio
operators for these current taskings.
Further requirements are likely as water levels
rise, and will be communicated when received.
In particular, there may be a requirement for
identifying 2 or 3 "Go Teams" comprised of two
ARES operators with radios, antennas and power
supplies that could be tasked to attend to a ring
dike community on short notice. DEC's are asked
to communicate this possible requirement with
their EC's and regional membership to identify
ARES members who could participate in such teams.
EC's/DEC's: Please forward potential team info
by: names, call-signs and emergency contact
information to the attention of the Manitoba
Section Emergency Coordinator VE4DWG.
Further requests for assistance may be received
as local conditions can change quickly.
All ARES Units in Manitoba should be at a state
of operational readiness for flood related
operations, in particular, those who are in and
near water sheds that have been identified as "at risk" of flooding.
EC's / DEC are asked to communicate any local
requests for assistance that they have received
so we can be aware of the over-all ARES resource
commitments and potential needs for mutual aid
amongst ARES units across the province.
Don Gerrard VE4DWG
Section Emergency Coordinator Manitoba.
