Current ARES-Recommended Training Courses

  Current ARES-Recommended Training Courses

 
In addition to the ARRL Emergency Communications Courses, ARES field
operators should also complete the following formal training courses:
 
* Red Cross combined course in Adult CPR/First Aid Basics
* Red Cross online Introduction to Disaster Services
 
* FEMA IS-100 (Introduction to Incident Command System)
* FEMA IS-200 (ICS for Single Resource and Initial Action Incidents)
* FEMA IS-700 (National Incident Management System)
 
Except for the first two, the courses are free of charge, and
CPR/First Aid may be free to members of the Red Cross. CPR/First Aid
is the only course that requires periodic refreshers and the only
course that must be taken in person rather than on the Internet.
Where FEMA courses exist in more than one current version - aimed at
somewhat different audiences - any of the currently-available
versions will suffice. - ARRL National Emergency Response Planning
