EMC366 - EMCOMM Officers Handbook 1

This is an updated and re-worded version of an earlier "RACES RADIO OFFICERS HANDBOOK", with acknowledgements at series end.

Amittedly this is focused towards units serving governments: ACS, RACES and local units with government MOU's such as ARES, REACT and specially created groups for
that purpose. Yet, some of these basic principals may apply equally to any unit that is serving a public agency of any variety, whether Red Cross, Skywarn, or others. Certainly there are aspects unique to each agency or organization that we serve, but some standards do cross all areas.

YOUR ORGANIZATION

Before you go any farther into this document, consider the fact that your whole organization is made up entirely of volunteers. These are special people as they give freely, of their time and money, to provide a public service under what often may become stressful situations. They do have rights, and since they have made a commitment, also have certain responsibilities. The following includes you as well.

THE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN ORGANIZATIONAL VOLUNTEER

RIGHTS
  1. To be treated as a co-worker; not just free help.
  2. To a suitable assignment.
  3. To know as much as possible about the organization; policy, people and programs.
  4. To participate in activities.
  5. To quality training.
  6. To sound guidance and direction.
  7. To proper working conditions.
  8. To promotion and a variety of experience.
  9. To be heard; to have a part in the planning.
  10. To recognition, through promotion, reward and expression of appreciation by professionals.

    ACS Bulletins

    The Bulletins are addressed to the Emergency Management Agency (with sub-addresses to others) with the intent that the Radio Officer, ACS Coordinator or other unit participant will deliver them to the agency coordinator, and discuss their topics.
