During an Emcomm Mission it is good
if
“assessments” can
be done during the mission. The
purposes of the assessments are to determine if changes need to be made
to the
processes used during the mission. A
typical mission would include assessments about 1/3 and 2/3 of the way
through
the mission. The assessment would be
chaired by someone from Command, with possible input from all involved
persons. It is important to conduct
the assessment in
as little time as possible, while obtaining a valid assessment.
- What
can be Changed
to improve our results?
- What
can be Deleted
to improve our results?
- If
we have “dead time”, what can we Add to
improve our results or accomplish needed
training?
Specific Questions which might be asked
could
include:
- Are there any
safety, health, or conduct issues with any of our personnel?
- Are
there any stations with poor
signal strength or audio quality?
- Are
we using an efficient Command
structure?
- Should
our Net procedures be changed?
- Should
we divide the Net?
- Should
we move the Net to a different
frequency within this band, or to a different band?
- Should
we change Repeaters?
- Are
WL2K Users using the same RMS
station, when they could be using different RMS stations?
- Do
we need more Relay stations?
- What
do we need, that we don’t have,
or isn’t working well?
- Do
we need more on-site help from
other counties or states?
