== What To Expect: The Operations Plan == | |||
All Parade Guide volunteers should expect to receive an electronic copy of the Operations Plan '''no more than three days before your shift,''' and a hard copy will be provided to you when you check in on parade day. Please do not request a copy of the Operations Plan if the parade is more than three days off. | |||
You will receive the following information in the Operations Plan: | |||
* Parade day timeline, including check-in and check-out times; | |||
* Recommended parking; | |||
* Location of restrooms for volunteers; | |||
* Location of the Command Post; | |||
* Relevant parade day phone numbers (e.g. cell phone numbers of personnel in the Command Post); | |||
* Tactical radio frequencies; | |||
* Reviews of required and recommended equipment; | |||
* Review of radio protocols. | |||
== Post Procedures == | |||
=== Before you leave home for your volunteer shift === | |||
* Have your route from home planned. If you're driving, where will you park your vehicle while volunteering? (Recommended parking options for you will be included in the Operations Plan) How much time will you need to get from your home to check in at the Command Post? | |||
* Check your equipment and make sure you have everything you want. We recommend having it prepped and ready to go the night before. | |||
* If you have a smartphone, have this article loaded up on your browser so you can reference it as needed. | |||
* Go to the bathroom before you leave. Bathrooms will be around, but | |||
As a general rule, Parade Guides are to remain at their posts unless otherwise directed by Parade Guide Command Post. | |||
