[AARA] ICS- 700, 100, and 200 Training and the Rayne Hamfest

Tue Feb 23 17:28:31 CST 2016

Take the ICS class and attend the Rayne Hamfest on the same day!

The Acadiana Amateur Radio Association will be hosting  an introductory 
ICS INCIDENT COMMAND TRAINING class.  If you plan to assist in any way 
with emergency communications,  disaster preparations, or disaster 
relief pre or post event, taking this coarse is the first step.  Most 
EOC's, OHSEP offices, and NGO now require anyone working with them to 
have completed ICS-700, 200, and 100.  The course is open to anyone, 
civilians, law enforcement, firemen, Red Cross and Salvation Army 
volunteers, HAM Radio operators, ARES members, military personnel, etc.  
This is your chance to take ICS- 700, 200, and 100 in a class room 
setting instead of sitting in front of a computer for hours plus you get 
to meet like minded individuals.  But, you must still take the test online.

The instructor will be L.E. "Skip" Breeden AB5SB. Skip is a GOHSEP 
approved instructor, has over 30 years emergency management experience, 
and has been on the ground for events ranging from Hurricane Andrew 1992 
to Isaac 2012.  Skip's bio is attached if you care to view it.
