Information Net<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

From time to time, situations will occur that require the rapid dissemination of information, but do not require the activation of a full ARES Resource Net.\u00a0 Such situations could include a major winter weather system, accident, or what happened in the\u00a0 aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks.\u00a0 During such times, the frequency may become crowded with many operators trying to find out, or to provide, information on the situation.\u00a0 At that time, rumors and inaccurate information have a way of getting out of control.\u00a0 In addition, the crowded frequency makes it hard for stations with emergency or priority traffic to get in.At that time, the DEC, an EC, AEC, or an ARES Net Control Op will establish an ARES Information Net.1.\u00a0 The net will follow Formal net procedures (Directed Net).<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 The Net Control will not take formal check-ins, but will take a list of those requesting or having pertinent information.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Net Control will then prioritize and contact each station in turn to get their request or information. Every attempt will be made to ensure that ACCURATE information is being passed and that a RELIABLE source is being used.\u00a0 The net WILL NOT REPEAT NEWS MEDIA OR SCANNER REPORTS AS VERIFIED INFORMATION. IF THERE IS NO VERIFIED SOURCE FOR THE INFORMATION (“I heard some guy on another repeater say…”, “Channel XX says…”, “I heard the XYZ PD on the scanner say…”) IT WILL BE LABELED AS UN VERIFIED RUMOR AND TREATED AS SUCH UNTIL VERIFIED BY AN AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE. The basic rule of thumb is, if the operator reporting information is not an eye witness to an event, or has not received the information from an authoritative source (Incident Commander, Public Information Officer, etc.) then the information is to be considered a rumor.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 There will be frequent stand-bys for stations with Emergency or Priority Traffic.<\/p>\n

At some time in the process, the net may, at the discretion of the Net Control Op, go to a Stand By net <\/a>status.\u00a0 Operators may engage in casual conversations, but will be asked to leave frequent breaks\u00a0 to allow\u00a0 for emergency or priority station or for\u00a0 the Net Control to reactivate a formal net if needed. The Net Control will also be prepared to escalate to an ARES Resource Net<\/a> if directed to do so by the DEC or an EC or AEC.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
