Winlink Express: Lesson 3

Lesson 3: Situation Report-SITREP

After you open up RMS Express Telnet Session and click on the plain white sheet of paper (or New Message)
  • Select Template
  • Open Templates and click on SITREP
  • Click Open
  • In the "To" - Put the recipient callsign here.
  • In the "Cc" - Put additional recipient callsigns here.
** Note that by using the template feature, the date and time has auto-fill fields and there has been seconds included in the time grouping. This is acceptable for submitting messages to the state.
  • Remember to put "This is an Exercise or Training Message" in the Text window above your message.
A few reminders on the SITREP form:
  • On #3 "Category": it is possible to have more than one event.
  • On #4 "Event Name": This is whatever the Emergency Manager chooses to call it. Use the same name for the entire event. 
  • On #8 "Next 24": Narrative set of planned actions or activities during the next 24 hours. Or you might want to say when the next SITREP will be.
  • On #9 "Other Efforts": It asks for a description of efforts taken by other agencies, governments, and organizations. ie., State, City, Military, Red Cross, FEMA, CERT, etc.... This should include their involvement and status that you know of.
  • **Remember the "Signature" on the bottom. This is the authoritative signature. The responsible person. Not the radio operator.
  • SITREPS can be done hourly, or every 2 to 4 hours.....
