TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARES PERSONNEL In order to deploy efficient and well trained
teams, in times of emergencies and for public service events, the Western
Washington Leadership Team has developed the following minimum recommendations
for all ARES personnel. We do understand that some of our served
agencies such as American Red Cross or local Department of Emergency Management,
may require/mandate other training - which is within their authority to do so -
however we believe that a basic education/training program can only strengthen
our ability to serve when we are called.
It is recommended that Section Staff
Take These Classes
