CERO - CERT Emergency Radio Ops

The WC CERT Emergency Radio Operators staff the CERT radios at City Hall during emergencies, drills, and net check-ins. 

During emergencies and drills, they receive messages from the Yellow Box operators at each CERT Area command post and pass these onto the WC Emergency Operations Center (WC EOC).

You can apply to become an EOC Communicator by contacting the EOC Comms Administrator.

* Explanation of Antenna pictures above:

Most of the photos are a panorama of the view from the roof, swinging clockwise from southeasterly to northwesterly. I did it two or three times; once while zoomed out for a closer view. I could not get up on the roof of the penthouse, where the antennas are, so we’ll have to imagine what the view will be with an extra 12 feet or so of height. It seems to me that it won’t be much better. Whoever built City Hall obviously wasn’t thinking like a medieval king. Everyone knows you put the castle on the highest hill around, not in a hole surrounded by taller buildings.

Also in the batch are three shots of a clock on the wall. That’s inside the penthouse at the top of the stairs, where the cabling will transition for outside to inside. We plan to mount a box on the wall below the clock to hold the PoE adapter and to transition the CAT 6 cable from inside type to outdoor type.

Finally, there is a photo of the box containing the CAT 6 plenum cable Nick has for us to use. That’s mainly for my reference
