The Bulletins were contributed to by various people locally and from around the country. They were compiled by the State RACES Coordinator, State RACES Radio Officers and others to whom these topics are of vital interest. It is hoped that your questions will be answered in the Bulletins. They are intended to provide guidance and ideas in the development and management of the "deputy communicators" in governments RACES volunteers. We welcome feedback and inputs. If you don't have a RACES unit in your government, we welcome the opportunity to present a RACES seminar in your community. The seminar is for all of the Amateur Radio operators in your operational area and its government officials. The RACES seminar addresses the Who, What, Why When, Where & How of using Amateur Radio operators to provide emergency communications for a civil defense/emergency management agency. Most Bulletins are undated in nature and applicable (directly or through interpretation) anywhere in the U.S. They have been requested by several Pacific basin nations because their use of Amateur Radio in support of emergency communications is similar to ours. Several people and agencies have said that the Bulletins help fill a void created by the disappearance of national RACES guidance by FEMA many years ago. Most WESTNET sysops, leave the current Bulletin in the directory for one week and then move it into a "W" sub-directory upon receipt of the next Bulletin. Thank you all for your support and cooperation. 73 and Aloha, Stan/KH6GBX (W6HIR @ WA6NWE). Asst.
