The Drill
• Template document Last year's drill planning template. See "Google Spreadsheets for the Drill" below to make an electronic template for your drill.
This is what Lar Rieu is using...
Message Forms for the Drill
The latest versions of the Field Team Message Form and the CERO form cannot be found on the city website. You can get them here until the city fixes that.
• Field Team Message Form, version 3
• CERO form, version 2, from John Trinterud
Google Spreadsheets for the Drill
Spreadsheet templates for the Drill simplify making assignments, printing a SIGN-IN sheet, printing a list of participants with contact/HAM info, printing a band plan for your CERT area that you can distribute to members, and printing a summary sheet. You put names next to roles, and the spreadsheet does the rest.
NOTE: depending on how busy Google is, it may take up to 10 seconds for the spreadsheet to populate with data. If it doesn't respond, refresh the open spreadsheet, or click the link below a second time.
