WCF SECTION PRESS RELEASE #20-14

FLORIDA ARES TASK BOOK NOW AVAILABLE

The Florida ARES Task Book is now available for download from the West Central Florida Section ARES webpage on the Section website at http://arrlwcf.org/wcf-section-programs/ares/.  The Florida ARES Task Book, originally adopted from the ARES Task Book created by the ARRL South Texas Section, has been compiled for use in the entire State of Florida by all three ARRL Florida Section ARES organizations.  The three ARRL Florida Section Emergency Coordinators worked together on the compilation of the Florida ARES Task Book, and received numerous inputs from the ARRL Emergency Coordinators in all three ARRL Florida Sections.  The Florida ARES Task Book is intended for amateur radio operators who have made themselves available for deployment outside of their own county of residence for a mutual aid response in times of disaster, when such mutual aid is requested by a served agency.

The ARES Task Book is a concept first introduced in the new ARRL ARES Plan which came into effect in January 2019.
