The recon group is the "mobile" part of our CERT organization.

All CERTs should know how to do a windshield survey; the recon program teaches you how to communicate via radio to get new instructions and communicate critical survey results (non-critical results will be handed in when the team returns to the ARK).

In 2018 we significantly reorganized the program; here are documents from after that point:

• Recon introduction presentation

• Recommended "starter" radios and accessories

• Town Emergency Communication Committee

  • Quick Reference Guide

  • Recommended frequency list (section 6 of the above guide)

Ham radio links:

• County ARES/RACES web site (upcoming classes and events)

• 2018 Los Gatos Ham Cram Sessions

• ICS Forms we use: ICS 213 Message Form, ICS 214 Unit Activity Log, ICS 309 Communications Log

• LAH CERT Zone Maps (requires login)
