Update Information In E-services

An important part of insuring our success is the formation of Councils. These councils will be made up of representatives from their respective areas and will be responsible to actually formulating our policies and procedures. At this point, we have defined two councils:

IC Council

ES Council

The IC Council membership is made of each qualified or trainee Incident Commander and Agency Liaison members. The council meets monthly using our wing teleconference tools and will be responsible for: 1) Defining and refining standard procedures for how incidents are managed; 2) Defining and managing funded and non-funded exercises; and 3) Ongoing process improvement to meet our customer's needs.

The ES Council membership is made up of one representative from each unit that has at least one active ES member with GTM, UDF, MP, MO, MS, IC, AL, or MSA qualifications. The council will meet monthly using our wing teleconference tools and will be responsible for: 1) Reviewing procedures and training; 2) Defining policies/needs to enhance ES participation; 3) Building and maintaining member participation in ES programs; and 4) Development of our annual ES training plan.

		Aircrew Information
General Information	CAPAlert Oregon Wing has an additional pager alerting system that works independent of the WMU. If you desire to be sure to be alerted, since the WMU DOES NOT send email to members with only Trainee ratings, then you need to have your alerting unit (pager, cell phone, etc.) added to the CAPAlert mail list. You can also subscribe with your regular email address in order to also have alerts sent to you by email as well. There is no limit to the number of devices and email addresses which you may want to have added to CAPAlert. To subscribe for your email, simply go to http://maillist.peak.org/mailman/listinfo/or-capalert and select subscribe. To have a mobile device (cell phone, alpha pager, etc.) added enter your Alpha Pager Number: i.e.5035551234@vtext.com To subscribe to Oregon CAP Alert Enter your Alpha Pager Number: i.e.5035551234@vtext.com Paging	Scanner Training
