Management of the Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Function

Jerry Boyd-- With hundreds of radio amateurs completing EMCOMM courses via the ARRL and elsewhere, there is a great deal available in terms of the “how to” of emergency communications. What has been lacking until now is a book designed for the managers and coordinators of Amateur Radio emergency communications activities.

Jerry Boyd, KW7J, author of two previous EMCOMM books (both published by Worldradio) and dozens of magazine articles on the subject, has authored “Management of the Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Function.” This 48-page booklet discusses the specific management responsibilities, which Emergency Coordinators and other EMCOMM managers have. It provides very helpful information for such managers on how to efficiently and effectively accomplish those tasks.

The author draws on his 34 years as a public safety professional in law enforcement, fire, EMS, and Search & Rescue functions as well as 44 years as a licensed Amateur Radio operator in offering tips for EMCOMM managers. His 15 years as a Police Chief and two years as Chief of a Rural Fire District provide a realistic and very applicable management perspective. 48 pages. © 2003, Published by World Radio Books. -- $8.00 Order On Line
