<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings to All SET Team members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached to this email is our SET Plan. Since we have severe weather moving into today, our deployment<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">will involve actually reporting and weather spotting. <u>While this is an actual deployment, we will also use the
<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>approaching inclement weather to familiarize operators on how to operate in an actual severe weather environment
<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>using proper radio reporting procedures</u>. This will be actual storm spotting event and an actual deployment.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">IF you have severe weather observations, it will be relayed to the National Weather Service in Birmingham.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Remember, many people listen to amateur radio who are not hams. With actual severe weather moving<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">in, remain calm in your reporting and report exactly what is asked of you at your location.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We do not want to cause any public panic or flood 911 or the EMA with inquiries from the public.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>This is primarily an actual storm spotting deployment along with a secondary objective of training.<o:p></o:p></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You have trained for this. Now, let’s put your training to work for our communities and served agencies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When reporting to your assigned agency location, you may choose to remain in your car and report your
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">observations when requested the Net Control Station. You may go inside the building for safety reasons
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">if you feel the need to do so. Do not jeopardize your life to make an weather observation from outdoors if<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">you feel it is NOT safe to do so. <u>Personal safety of the observer takes precedence over all other considerations</u>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If your building is inaccessible, you may relocate to a safer location. Notify NCS if you leave your assigned<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">location.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Deployment begins at 1300 hours CT. I will be located at the Lee County EMA and will end at 1600HRS CT.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please print out the attached plan, locate your callsign in the plan for your deployment location, and assigned duties.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">See you on the air at 1300HRS CT.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Respectfully,<o:p></o:p></p>
