TRAINING We will cover
Traffic handling, emergency preparedness, and our role in
a Regional disaster. All KWARC members and those from
surrounding clubs are welcome to attend. Oktoberfest
Bike Rally Eight to ten
operators will be required. Location is Wilson Park in
the south end of Kitchener. Time 9 AM - 3PM. More details to follow. Other
area ARES groups are welcome to participate. Waterloo
Region Emergency Exercise I have few
details at this time, but check this page for updates.
This will be an all day exercise, testing all aspects of
Waterloo Region's Emergency plan. It will involve all
groups that would respond, and provide assistance during
a disaster in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. This
is the most important exercise for our ARES group that
you could assist with, other than a real disaster. Plan
to attend if at all possible, even if it means taking a
day off work. The last
Regional exercise was a great success, lets make this one
even better, and show what we can provide. More details
to follow as they become available. I have more
brochures available for ARES members to give your
employer a good idea of the type of assistance, and
importance you would play in your community in the event
of a disaster in the area such as the Ice Storm of 1998.
The brochure describes ARES, CANWARN etc., and may assist
your employer in seeing the benefit of allowing the day
off to assist. Contact John Schreiter VE3DOS for a
brochure, and your availability for the exercise. The call out
tree will be used, and all aspects of the exercise will
be run as though this it was the real thing. Other area
ARES groups wishing to participate are welcome. Please
advise John if you plan to be involved. We require
volunteers to assist with communications. If you can
attend any of these sessions please contact our ARES EC
