I must apologize for not being to active this week… NABR had a hr plus meeting with the county on Thursday which didnt allow me to check-in on the net…

There was a lot of talk about how NABR and associates will/could fit into an emergency event that could happen in the future. For those of us with NABR, positions, locations were explained as were objective needed for such incident that was in the scenario presented. As the president of NABR, one of my jobs is to setup exercises and scenarios that advance the training for a time of need. I will be setting up another exercise in the near future. The coming exercise will be solely radio communications, no internet, no phone service, the only form of communication is radio… There are a lot of holes and pockets in the area that cell phone service isn’t possible… The reason for such an exercise is to test equipment and find shortcomings in our communications setup… As always and with any of our exercises, the most important thing is to learn, and to have fun doing it. After the exercise we have what is called a hot wash, basically a debriefing, and to go over any strengths and weaknesses we may have as a team.

Anyone can be a part of these exercises. Because of the way official channels work in event, not if but when NABR is needed, any volunteers will have to be under the guidance and instruction of NABR. This is something we can’t get away from. The reason for that is because of requirements that are necessary on the local all the way up to the federal level that allow us to be part of an incident.

Anyone who is interested in learning more about anything that we have coming up, feel free to contact me at
