Preparing for Public Service Communications

Dress in layers of clothing, in case the weather changes.

Bring your medication, sunscreen, sunglasses, water bottle, etc.

Bring extra batteries for your radio.

Report your arrival in advance on the talk-in frequency, so you can be directed to convenient parking.

Bring a pen and small note pad to jot down information.

Speaker mics and headsets are very helpful. Don't use VOX, as it can pick up crowd noise and tie up the frequency.

If you have an extra radio, bring it along in case another volunteer has none.

You're part of a team. Net Control will answer your questions.

Have fun and feel good about helping your community.
