The former Amateur Radio Emergency Communications (AREC) series of three training courses (AREC I,II,III) has been reconfigured into two courses:
An introductory course, and a course for leaders and managers.
________________________________________
Introduction to Emergency Communication (#EC-001)
Revised in 2011, this is an update of the former Level 1 course. It is designed to provide basic knowledge and tools for hams who want to serve as a Public Service volunteer. It provides an opportunity for non-hams who rely on communications in emergency situations to learn about Amateur Radio and its unique role in emergencies.
