Steps to become an ARES Oklahoma Member |
-
To be an officer within the ARES Oklahoma organization, you must
be a member of the ARRL. You can go to
www.arrl.org
and join up there. You can typically join up at any of the
local ham fests (and usually get extra goodies in the process).
This associates your call sign with ARES at the national level.
-
You must go to
www.aresok.org/mkApplication.asp
and apply to be a part of the section. This adds your name to
the list that local incident commanders use in trying to find
ARES members for emergencies. Additionally, if you are joining
as an AEC or above, this is the web site that has all of the
tools you'll need to participate within the section reporting
structure. This associates your call sign with ARES at the local
section level.
-
You must join the "aresoklahoma" Yahoo!Group at
groups.yahoo.com/group/aresoklahoma
(then click on the big blue "Join This Group!" button at the top
right). This is how we broadcast all section events,
information, etc. that is of a timely or critical nature.
-
If you are an EC, a DEC, or a ZEC, you must also download a copy of the
ARES Oklahoma Section Plan
and, using it as a template, edit the section(s) starting on
page 14 that apply to your position within the organization.
Once you are finished, your plan should be emailed to Mr.
Charles Goodson for approval. Once approved, you would then
pass it up the chain of command (ie. EC's edit their information
into the EC section on page 15 and mail it to their DEC; their
DEC would collect all of the EC's sections mailed to them, and
insert it into their own copy of this plan and after adding
their own information, mail it to their ZEC; and so on). This
gives uniformity to all of the operations of ARES in Oklahoma,
as the bulk of data for the rules, etc., will be maintained as
STANDARD across the section. The finished document, with all EC,
DEC, and ZEC additions, will be the definitive statement of ARES
in Oklahoma. Looking through it, any incident commander working
any disaster within the state will have all the information
needed to find the ARES members in the section.
