When you are ready to reply to a message during an exercise, it may be obvious to the net controller which message you are replying to. During an actual deployment, however, there may be several messages sent to NET teams from the Emergency Operations Center or from one team to another. This multiplicity of messages makes it critical that the net controller receiving the reply matches it correctly to the original message. To help them do so, the subnet controller logs the originating station, date, time and subject of each message. Thus to assist the controller in identifying the message you are replying to you should | |||
# Provide that originating station, date, time and subject of the original message. | |||
# Wait to be given the go ahead with your reply. | |||
# Read your reply using the appropriate keywords. | |||
# (See the sample script below for an example of this process.) | |||
