| Need Help Finding an Emergency Communications Class | cooleyomar4@gmail.com | 3 weeks, 4 days ago |
| Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to find a course to enhance my skills in emergency communications, but I’m having trouble locating anything nearby or online that fits my schedule. I’m particularly interested in ARRL’s EC-001 course or other similar training that provides a solid foundation for participating in EmComm activities. I currently hold a General Class license and have been active in my local ARES group here in Houston, Texas. My goal is to get more involved in emergency response efforts, especially during hurricane season, where reliable communication can be critical. So far, I’ve checked ARRL’s website, reached out to nearby clubs, and even contacted emergency management organizations, but I haven’t had much luck. Does anyone know of any upcoming courses, online options, or resources I could explore? I’m also open to recommendations for books, videos, or self-study materials to get started while I search for a class. level devil 2 If you’ve been in a similar situation, how did you find training opportunities? Any advice on connecting with experienced EmComm operators who might offer mentoring would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help! |

| Hi everyone, I’m eager to strengthen my skills in emergency communications (EmComm) but have been struggling to find a suitable class near [Your Location]. I’m especially interested in the EC-001: Introduction to Emergency Communication course or anything similar that provides a solid foundation for effective emergency response via amateur radio. I’ve already checked the ARRL’s course offerings and reached out to nearby ham radio clubs, but I haven’t had much luck finding anything local. Are there other organizations or resources that frequently offer EmComm training? Additionally, I’d love to hear about: Online options for EmComm training (self-paced or live courses). Hands-on workshops or events where I can practice real-world scenarios. Recommended reading material, exercises, or tools to prepare in the meantime. For context, I currently hold a license, and I’m hoping to get involved in [specific area, e.g., disaster response, public events, ARES/RACES work]. If anyone has tips, upcoming class announcements, or even suggestions for reaching out to emergency management organizations in my area, I’d be so grateful. ragdoll hit Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction! |
