Seeking Volunteers to Support Vaccination Clinics</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">This is not a ham
radio exercise. If that offends you, please stop reading and
delete
this message. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">This is an
important
activity and the organizers are in need of a lot more help, so I
took
the initiative to use a ham radio email list to spread the word.
If
you wish to complain, please direct your opinions to me—it is my
fault that you are receiving this.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Vaccinations to
prevent COVID-19 have begun in Montgomery County. Each clinic at
which the vaccine is administered is a large scale incident and is
being managed per the National Incident Command System (NIMS).
Incident Command has contacted me and asked if there was a
possibility that ham radio operators would be willing to help with
traffic control. This message is to solicit volunteers to help
with
this effort.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">The nature of the
work is directing traffic in and around the Dayton Convention
Center,
particularly in the five story garage. Note that traffic control
is
by request of the Dayton Police Department. Volunteers will be
assigned to work in teams of two. Each team will be issued a CERT
radio (Moto Talkabout FRS). Training will be provided as needed.
Each
assignment consists of a five hour shift, with at least one break.
The work requires spending time on your feet and most of the time
will be outdoors. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">A requirement for
volunteers is that they have had training in NIMS. Having been
trained as CERT, being listed as ARES Level 2, or holding
certificates of successful completion for IS-100, IS-200, IS-700,
and
IS-800 is sufficient. Note that this is an opportunity to witness
the
Incident Command System in operation.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">DO NOT show up to
the incident and volunteer to help unless you are on the roster of
expected volunteers.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">The vaccine is
being
offered to groups in stages. Right now, it is available to first
responders and health care workers, but it is expected that you
will
be eligible to receive the vaccine if you volunteer.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">It is expected that
the size of the operation will expand rapidly, so there will be
many
volunteer opportunities in the near future.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">I have offered to
collect the names and email addresses of people who would like to
volunteer. A list of currently scheduled clinics is below. Please
send me a message ( to <a href="mailto:n8ado@arrl.net">n8ado@arrl.net</a>
) if you wish to volunteer. List the clinics for which you are
willing to support. Also tell me if you want to be included on
future
emails listing additional clinics after they are scheduled. I will
be
creating a new mail group, probably on Gmail to help manage this.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">Currently Scheduled
Clinics:</p>
