For those that missed Cecil Higgins presentation on the Joplin Tornado ARES® Communications Response at the Midwest Convention in Lebanon Missouri earlier this month, Cecil has provided the presentation and after action report for review here on the website. It is a great report on the communications support provided in Joplin after the disastrous tornado and lessons learned from the response. It reminds us of the many obstacles and requirements of supporting a major response effort. To read and review the report and presentation, click on these links.
