“I Am Safe” Welfare Messages Exercise

Training and Tabletop Exercise – “I Am Safe” Welfare Messages using Winlink

The purpose of this low-key, hands-on exercise is to send “I Am Safe” welfare messages.  It is a new paper to radio to “loved one” process that needs a final, at scale test.

We need multiple radio operators to run a final  proof-of-concept exercise to pass “I Am Safe” Welfare messages using Winlink.   We will be passing message traffic locally and to the east coast. You will be given on-the-job  training to test if the processes are quickly executable in times of disaster.

2 options for radio operators:

• Bring your portable Winlink station with UHF/VHF capability. Elmers will be available for Winlink assist, but this is not Winlink basic training.
• Use one of our 3 Winlink stations to pass traffic.

Attendees will learn about the process and can also create messages to be sent, no radio experience is for that. Everyone is welcome!
