CERT 2-Way Radio Fundamentals Part II of II Communications Plans and Operating Procedures for Complex Incidents 1 We are continuing our CERT radio training with an introduction to multi-channel operations. This familiarizes you with more formal radio procedures which enable you to operate a 2-way radio more effectively during complex incidents in which there will be formal communication plans. Large incidents may involve multiple CERT teams and require a full ICS structure which places much more stringent demands upon communications. In such cases it is VERY highly recommended that CERT use a formal communication plan and a directed or controlled net structure. 2 Objectives: After completing this unit you will be able to: Develop a plan for CERT communications Understand why multi-channel operations are needed for complex incidents Use correct radio operating procedures Procedural words, and standard ITU phonetics Operate your portable radio more effectively during an emergency! Most of your radio use in CERT up to now has involved use of the Family Radio Service, without any formal control. Using FRS on a single channel works OK when you only need to communicate with members of your own team, and when the available radio channels aren’t busy. When multiple teams work together on a larger incident, it becomes necessary for many more users to share a limited number of channels. When things get busy, people may “talk over” each other unless channel allocations are coordinated and teams know their channel assignments ahead of time. Use of a directed or “controlled net” enables those managing the incident to prioritize radio use and to handle urgent situations first. 3 An alerting and mobilization is yet another part of your team communication plan. Communication methods used to alert and mobilize your team may include person-to-person contacts, landline or cellular telephone, email or text messaging
