CFS: SIG INC: FYI: STATE LEVEL OF PREPAREDNESS RED - SCC CLOSING DOWN - DSC MILLER. > 28/01/2009 20:49:08 PM
CFS?
of course....thats right, preparedness is a daylight hours only concept isnt it?....State is Red, SCC is closed, puuuulease....amateur hour is fully locked and loaded
Mr TEDDY I think you have no idea of Ops control.... put some facts in the posting rather than bashing something without knowledge....yes I am from a different ESO so I can not explain the specifics, but I have volunteered at CFS SCC a few years ago...
Baj, I have an excellent idea of Ops control,. Its a simple concept really, SCC is there to provide support, coordination, CONTROL of assets and decision making prowess when the scheiße hits the fan. If going to Red during the day is good enough for full or partial activation....why does that need cease when it gets dark - especially tonight if u see that u have lighning strikes everywhere north, you have one Group on active Standby, and fires on the East Coast.
All I am saying is.....if it's convenient to shut the door when the sun goes down rather than pay overtime, or recruit sufficient staff to run it 24/7 WHEN the parameters require it, then u have to question why u need it at anytime.
Interesting you admit to being from a different ESO, and u can't explain the specifics.....but u hammer me for having no idea or knowledge.
Zippy, interestingly, not long after the page I referenced, the SOSB closed down also, along with the Bushfire Hotline. Lets hope the recorded message has a list of things that might help overnight. Perhaps we could make that solar powered and save some more money.
