    1. National Academies of of Science, Engineering and Medicine<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    The\u00a0National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine<\/strong>\u00a0offer many free publications in .pdf form. Naturally, many recent ones are related to the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are other topics, such as general public health emergencies. Go to:\u00a0https:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org<\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

    An interesting publication I found here recently is\u00a0Issues in Science and Technology.\u00a0I think you\u2018ll find it interesting as well. See it at\u00a0https:\/\/issues.org<\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Let me know if the Academy stuff appeals to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. COVID Vaccination<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Occasionally there is some benefit to ARES members volunteering for a responder agency. My volunteer experience with the Clark County Medical Reserve Corps led to a contract position with the Clark County Combined Health District. Contact with Covid-19 cases as a CCCHD contractor qualified me under Phase 1A of the vaccination rules, so yesterday I received my first Moderna Covid-19 shot. If I had stayed in retirement for the past ten months I would be in line for my first shot at the end of Phase 1B sometime in February.<\/span><\/p>\n

    By the way, if anyone is curious about vaccine side effects, I had a sore arm at the injection site for a day, a half hour of shivering about twelve hours after the shot and a headache the first night. All symptoms are gone, and only the sore arm was absolutely associated with the shot!<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Clark Co. EMA Position<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    As an ARES member, have you ever considered turning pro? The Clark County Emergency Management Agency is seeking an Emergency Management Specialist to replace an employee who left on January 15th. You wouldn\u2018t be the only ham on the staff. Ken Johnson, KE8JHP, is the Deputy Director, and many of\u00a0us\u00a0volunteers are ARES members as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you have taken the FEMA Independent Study courses mentioned during these programs, you have already met some of the job requirements. Others may be met during your probation period. As with most emergency management jobs, you work a straight business week until an emergency occurs. Then all bets are off.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The job application period closes on February 3rd at 4:30 PM. To see the job information visit:\u00a0https:\/\/www.clarkcountyohio.gov\/jobs.aspx<\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. MARS 60M Exercises<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    ARRL Special Bulletin 2 reports that MARS Announces Schedule of Dates for 60 Meter Interoperability. The Military Auxiliary\u00a0Radio System announces eleven windows for hams to communicate with MARS operators beginning on February 23-27. All exercises will begin on Channel 1,\u00a0and options will include voice operation and ICS 213 by voice or digital modes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For further details, visit\u00a0www.arrl.org\/news<\/a>\u00a0. This story has moved from the first news page, so look around on earlier news pages. (Editor\u2019s Note: See\u00a0ARLX002<\/a>\u00a0for a direct link to the information).<\/span><\/p>\n

    Additionally,\u00a0Clark State College<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0hiring an Emergency Manager<\/a>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    5. Medical Reserve Corps<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    This morning WHIO reported that the Montgomery County Health Department was seeking volunteers to assist at their Covid-19 vaccination clinic. While medical professionals are obviously needed to give the shots, non-medical volunteers can help in other ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For the past ten months I\u2018ve\u00a0worked for the Clark County Combined Health District,\u00a0driving\u00a0active Covid-19\u00a0patients home from Springfield Regional Medical Center. This week I added driving CCCHD clients from home to the clinic for shots and back. I\u2018ve even learned such new skills as driving busses and operating wheelchair lifts!<\/span><\/p>\n

    So if you are bored, consider contacting your\u00a0local\u00a0health department about volunteering with their Medical Reserve Corps.<\/span><\/p>\n

    6. OSU Severe Weather Symposium<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Happy St. Patrick\u2018s Day!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Each year I plug the Ohio State University\u2018s Meteorology Club\u2018s Severe Weather Symposium<\/strong> on this net. So why should 2021 be any different?<\/span><\/p>\n

    Actually it is a bit different. This 25th Anniversary Severe Weather Symposium will be virtual\u00a0due to the pandemic. The Symposium will be held on Friday, April 9th from 9 AM to 5 PM.\u00a0Scheduled speakers include Mike Bettes from The Weather Channel and Ariel Cohen from the National Weather Service in Boulder, Colorado, plus seven others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The station will make contacts between 1300 and 2100 UTC on 7268 kHz and 14,325 kHz, as well as other unspecified frequencies. They will also activate the Voice over Internet Protocol Hurricane Net between 2000 and 2100 UTC.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \nAlert 18-21, Shelter-in-Place Pictogram Guidance<\/strong>\u00a0for ten different hazards and three building types.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Of the ten hazards noted, all but hurricanes are possible in Ohio ARES District 3. Of course, you may never need any of them. After all, we haven\u2019t needed the Active Shooter guidance in Springfield for almost eighteen hours now!<\/span><\/p>\n

    To download copies of these pictograms, go to the NIMS website:\u00a0https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/fema_shelter-in-place_guidance_5-25-2021.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    12. ARES E-Newsletter<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    The latest edition of the ARRL ARES E-Newsletter came out today. Rick Palm, K1CE, edits this monthly which is released every third Wednesday. Each issue includes news on ARES and related topics.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You must be an ARRL member to subscribe to the ARES E-Newsletter, which is free. Go to\u00a0http:\/\/www.arrl.org<\/a>\u00a0and visit the ARES page. Near the bottom you will find a link to subscribe to the ARES E-Newsletter<\/a>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    13. Broadcastify<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    You can learn a lot by listening to other\u00a0Skywarn, ARES, RACES, Red Cross<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0SATERN<\/strong>\u00a0emergency nets as they respond to emergencies and disasters within their jurisdictions. A decade ago this wasn\u2019t always easy to do. However,\u00a0Broadcastify<\/strong>\u00a0has made it possible to check in on much of the country, and even other nations.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Yesterday and today I monitored\u00a0SARNET<\/strong>, a Florida statewide VHF ham net, as Tropical Storm\/Hurricane Elsa bore down on them. You can use a computer, tablet or smart phone with Broadcastify to tune in radio scanners connected to the internet from many locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

    16. 2021 Great Central United States Shakeout<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Registration is now open for the 2021 Great Central United States Shakeout. This annual event prepares those in and around the New Madrid Fault Zone for a possible major earthquake and aftershocks. In 1811 and 1812 major quakes around New Madrid, Missouri damaged homes\u00a0hundreds of miles east\u00a0in central Ohio.<\/span><\/p>\n

    In addition to that fault zone,\u00a0smaller quakes on\u00a0several overlapping faults near\u00a0Anna and\u00a0St. Marys, Ohio\u00a0caused damage there in 1937 and 1986 respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The shakeout prepares individual and group participants to respond to and recover from damaging earthquakes. While the scheduled event is on October 21, 2021 registered participants may conduct their earthquake drill at any convenient date and time.<\/span><\/p>\n

    For further information go to\u00a0www.shakeout.org<\/a>\u00a0After the exercise certificates of participation will be available there as well.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
