SUMMARY:Shelter Site Surveys
DESCRIPTION:ARES® R1D5 is scheduled to conduct a survey of a publicly accessible facility designated by either the Douglas County Office of Emergency Management (DC OEM) or the Elbert County Office of Emergency Management (EC OEM) as a priority emergency shelter.  This survey will allow preparation and update of an ARES® Key Location Form that details information necessary for deployed teams to respond to a shelter activation in a timely manner with the right communications equipment. \nThe crux of a shelter survey is propagation testing. We’ll be testing our primary amateur analog/DMR repeaters\, Winlink RMS Gateways\, and Simplex communication with either the Douglas County EOC or Elbert County EOC.  The purpose is to determine how much antenna and radio capability deployed teams need to bring to the facility to operate effectively. \nWe can use ARES volunteers who wish to participate with their analog and/or DMR GO-KIT radio\, Winlink computer\, and speaker stand antenna to test voice/Winlink performance from the shelter. This is a great opportunity to test your equipment in the field. \n\nARES members are also welcome to participate in the survey without bringing their own portable GO-KIT equipment.\nSurvey participants need to wear their ARES uniform and Colorado Volunteer Mobilizer (CVM) identification badge.\nAuxComm members deploying to the DC EOC or EC EOC should wear their AuxComm badge for access to the EOC + uniform.\n\nIf you would like to help out\, share some camaraderie\, learn how shelters surveys are accomplished\, and see a premier Douglas County or Elbert County pre-designated shelter\, contact Operations@aresdec.org.

SUMMARY:Scout Jamboree at Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch
DESCRIPTION:ELBERT COUNTY SUPPORT REQUESTED FOR SCOUT JAMBOREE (27-29 SEPT)\nWe’ve received a request from our Elbert County Partner Agency to support the event IMT/ICP for the 2024 Jamboree of ~3\,500 Scouts at Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch. We understand this huge multi-Council camping event is held at Peaceful Valley about every four years.\nThe EOP (Emergency Operation Plan) is at an early stage\, but appears the cross-functional ICP will be “up” round the clock for three days while thousands of Scouts are camped out. This will be a big deal for Elbert County with evacuation shelters designated and even the School District on standby to use their many buses for evacuation if required. It has not yet been determined where ICP will be located (i.e. local fire station\, EOC\, etc.). \nStay tuned for more details forthcoming!

SUMMARY:Shelter Surveys - Elbert County (rescheduled from 2/3/24)
DESCRIPTION:ARES® R1D5 is scheduled to survey one or more facilities designated by the Elbert County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) as emergency warming shelters. Such surveys allow preparation and update of Key Location Forms that detail information necessary for ARES to respond to a shelter activation in a timely manner with the right communications equipment. \nThe crux of the surveys is propagation testing. We’ll be testing our primary amateur analog/DMR repeaters\, Winlink RMS Gateways\, and Simplex communication with the Elbert County EOC. \n· Our survey team will consist of one or two volunteers who can bring a GO-KIT radio (at least one DMR) along with at least a speaker stand antenna to test voice/Winlink performance from the shelters. \n· Another member will support the survey from the Elbert County EOC. \nWe usually meet in Kiowa for breakfast and review our Game Plan before heading to the survey site(s). If you are an ARES R1D5 member who would like to share some camaraderie and help on this readiness mission\, please contact Hal/KE0KFB\, AEC-OPS.

SUMMARY:Shelter Surveys - Castle Rock area
DESCRIPTION:ARES® R1D5 is scheduled to conduct surveys of four facilities designated by the Douglas County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) as priority emergency shelters. These surveys allow preparation and update of Key Location Forms that detail information necessary for ARES to respond to a shelter activation in a timely manner with the right communications equipment. \nThe crux of the surveys is propagation testing. We’ll be testing our primary amateur analog/DMR repeaters\, Winlink RMS Gateways\, and Simplex communication with the Douglas County EOC. \n\nWe’ll need one or two volunteers who can bring a GO-KIT radio (at least one DMR) along with at least a speaker stand antenna to test voice/Winlink performance from the shelters.\nWe could also use a badged DC AuxComm member to help support the survey from the Douglas County EOC using the installed AnyTone 578 transceiver.\n\nWe’re planning to meet in Castle Rock for breakfast and a review of everyone’s job\, followed by a 0900 hard start for the surveys. If you would like to share some camaraderie and help on this readiness mission\, please contact Hal/KE0KFB\, AEC-OPS.
