Emergency Communications
More and more people are taking it upon themselves to prepare for the uncertain. Power outages, tornado's, ice storm's, civil unrest, the list of natural and man made disasters goes on and on. The fact is, as an individual you are weak but as part of a group you are much stronger.
The weakest link in any tactical or disaster environment is always communication. It is the most important and the most fragile. This four hour class is going to help fix that, and is the culmination of 5 years of trial and error. I know what works and what doesn't work. The four hours will be a combination of lecture and hands on training with a pre-programmed ham radio you get to keep.
TOPICS COVERED:
Evaluating your group
Hands on training with your new Baofeng UV-5R. (One radio included with the class. Extra radios are $50 each)
Gathering intel, using a mix of old and new methods and why this is so important.
Six methods of outbound communications and how/when to use them.
Basic understanding of radio communications. (This is not a full fledged ham radio class).
Lists and hotlinks for recommended gear, and programs you will need.
A plug and play emergency communications system for your neighborhood. (your future group may be next door)
Step by step instruction for you to get the rest of your group up to speed.
The Instructor, Jeff Lewis, will need the name, zip code, and email address of each student as soon as you sign up or no less than a week out from class. He needs this to program your radio for your home location.
About the Instructor:
Jeff Lewis started working on group communications in 2008 as he saw a need to improve the communications within his own preparedness group.Since then he has spent much time testing, radios, antenna's, applications, and procedures. Jeff is an eternal student, and the communications field changes rapidly.
His way of giving back to the community is to pass on what he has learned to as many people as he can.
