Some discussion about FEMA ICS courses.  Useful to understand how they work and ideas for how we may mimic.

There is a big warning about getting a student ID to take the exam, but going through the course doesn't require one.

Suggestion to look into Mail Chimp (free version) that may allow easier notification of volunteers for training and information.

More discussion about role of Connex Boxes.

• Storage of WEACT supplies
• Flight Operations Center
• EAA Hanger
• Volunteer center
• Materials start point?
