Training
Training is
critical to the mission of Delaware County ARES-RACES. Like other emergency
personnel and first responders, experience gained through training and drilling
results in positive outcomes for communications volunteers. ARES-RACES units are
dedicated to training and devote much effort to learning necessary skills and
protocols. As new technologies, techniques and protocols in communication
emerge, ARES-RACES personnel
must stay one step ahead to provide the high level of professionalism expected
by the agencies they serve.
Training
resources available on this page will be added and updated as necessary.
