| | 13 | <apocsantos> The airport has 5 levels of alert |
| | 14 | <apocsantos> if they call up an alert there is a "resource template" to be activated and made availiable |
| | 15 | <apocsantos> for example level 2 alert means we (vila do conde fire department) has to make availiable 5 ambulances with crew, 2 trucks, 1 comand vehicle, and 1 extrication truck |
| | 16 | <apocsantos> so every time the alert is triggered the opcom has to check the level of alert and read the procedures, so that he can make the call for volunteers and vehicles |
| | 17 | <apocsantos> so imagine a guy under lots of pressure having to send sms alert to call in volunteers |
| | 18 | <apocsantos> read the pages for the procedures, see what it's needed and when |
| | 19 | <flavour> & we'd like to automate that |
| | 20 | <flavour> Select the Scenario from a dropdown |
| | 21 | <flavour> It says : OK you need these resources, Press 'Notify' to alert them |
| | 22 | <apocsantos> but level five alert (red alert) needs to have clearance from a commanding officer |
| | 23 | <apocsantos> for for that level a password would be required |
| | 24 | <flavour> How do the vehicles get mobilised? |
| | 25 | <apocsantos> if that level of alert is called "a plane has crashed or crash is unavoidable" |
| | 26 | <flavour> Volunteers get told to collect them in their mobilisation note? |
| | 27 | <apocsantos> volunteers get to the headquarters, and the opcom says what vehicles are needed |
| | 28 | <apocsantos> and have to select the crews |
| | 29 | <apocsantos> most usualy we "make the crews", with volunteers we are use to work with and have served together in the past |
| | 30 | <apocsantos> but that is one of the opcom tasks |
| | 31 | <apocsantos> we get in, get geared up, and say "ready and our internal id number" |
| | 32 | <flavour> So nothing in the mobilisation order other than 'attend base' |
| | 33 | <apocsantos> yep |
| | 34 | <apocsantos> it's one of the major fails |
| | 35 | <apocsantos> not all of us have training for those situations |
| | 36 | <apocsantos> just a few have EMS training |
| | 37 | <apocsantos> most just have EMT training |
