Reply To: THE GREAT DARKENING! Aka, April 8 Eclipse

All,

During the 1900 net tonight (Friday, April 5), the subject of logging came up.  If you are a net control operator or working at the EOC we will need you to please fill out a form called an ICS 214.  The form might be kind of daunting to someone at first glance, so please don’t be daunted.  Is that even a word?

Please log the time when you go online, log reportable events (as defined above), log when you leave your station (first advise that you are leaving) and when you return; keep a log of the things that someone following up and asking a question of you would allow you to look at your log and be responsive to the question.  My suggestion is for you to use a legal pad or something else you are comfortable with and take notes.  Look at the ICS 214 form and see what you think they are asking for and then do your best with your notes.  Afterwards, we will work with you to figure out how to make sure your notes get into the ICS 214 where you will not feel like you are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Here is a link to the ICS 214 form.

Thanks to all for your assistance with our efforts on Monday.
