Section Emergency Coordinator

Section Emergency Coordinator

The Section Emergency Coordinator is the assistant to the Section Manager for emergency preparedness. The SEC is appointed by the SM to take care of all matters pertaining to amateur radio emergency communications and the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) on a sectionwide basis. The SEC post is one of top importance in the section and the individual appointed to it should devote all possible energy and effort to it. There is only one SEC appointed in each section of the American Radio Relay League Field Organization.

SEC Qualifications

1. Encourage all groups of community amateurs to establish a local emergency organization.

2. Advise the SM on all section emergency policy and planning, including the development of a section emergency communications plan.

3. Cooperate and coordinate with the Section Traffic Manager so that emergency nets and traffic nets in the section present a united public service front, particularly in the proper routing of Welfare traffic in emergency situations. Cooperation and coordination should also be maintained with other section leadership officials as appropriate, particularly with the State Government Liaison and Public Information Coordinator.

4. Recommend candidates for Emergency Coordinator and District Emergency Coordinator appointments (and cancellations) to the Section Manager and determine areas of jurisdiction of each amateur so appointed.

5. Promote ARES membership drives, meetings, activities, tests, procedures, etc., at the section level.
