<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Greetings All,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> Greg Waters asked me to forward this link to HARC members. It is a query from the California Office of Emergency Services to see who might be interested in taking their online AUXCOM course. Greg, Peter and I took the class in the spring and found it to be a wealth of information. This course or the EC-001 class will be a prerequisite for some of the higher positions in the new Humboldt County AUXCOM.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> To alleviate any confusion, Greg has assured me that under the "Personal Experience" requirement of "An affiliation with a public agency", HARC members do count in this case. Also, it is important that you do not sign up for the waiting list until you have completed the 4 prerequisite ICS courses.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> I'm excited that this course is being offered again. It is in high demand. Both Peter and I were on the standby list as there was a maximum number of attendees allowed and thankfully some of them didn't show and we got their slots.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> I hope you'll consider this opportunity.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cheers,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Anthony</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">951-623-3400<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"> <br></div><div><br></div>
