Operations Officer - (Steve Pappas, Backups: Ben, ConnieAndersonSweatt & _______). Direct all tactical aspects to achieve the objectives today. Set-up Emergency Operations Center. Communicate with county Ops Officers. Develop the big-sizeup including hazards, demographics of the incident, and even enumerating which of our teams have been rendered helpless, and which other units can help most. Where are available church-shelters located? What church buses are available for transportation to shelters. [All Ops Officers will work with their Logistics Officers to ascertain that information.] Determine how we would best add a force-multiplier to the disaster solution. Prioritize what certified resources are needed most. Execute, execute, execute. Ok, here are the buddy-teams as assigned during an emergency:
Setting up Prayer-Care-Share stations throughout an impacted area.
(Citywide communications are a part of every incident, and generally not considered a TACTICAL operation -- thus our citywide communications network is largely a Planning/PIO functionality; not Operations per se.)
Maintaining a Call Center.
Extreme Communications. That is, if communications outages are so prevalent that extreme measures are needed -- eg, forming a 'spoke-and-wheel' communication network for the city -- using handheld radios, motorcycles, bicycles, to courier lists & messages, passing out flyers, etc.
