Field Operations Guide
SC4ARES Field Operations Guide (v5) is the primary reference for ARES operators in the Southcoast of San Mateo County. It has instructions and lists of resources every SC4ARES member should have. Download and keep a copy with you on your phone, tablet or laptop computer so it’s always available even if the internet is not. You might also print a copy or put the file on a USB drive in your go-kit, just in case.
