MC-ARES/RACES

Under CONDITION RED Monterey County ARES has been ACTIVATED

Information will be posted as to where to report and what to expect.

During condition green and condition yellow if we have taken appropriate steps to prepare for an emergency we will now be called upon to put that training and preperation into use. Some of the BEST training comes during a CONDITON RED situation because it is then that we are pressed into service and expected to be at our best.

When a CONDITION RED is activated the ARES staff of the Salinas EOC are expected to report to the EOC for a briefing. If at that time it looks like it will be an alert lasting more than 24 hours the staff will then be assigned hours to be at the EOC for each individual.
