Emergency Communications
Amateur radio has a place in P.A.C.E. planning. The P.A.C.E. process is about mitigating risk by developing contingicies during the planning process (ideally, identified in an Operational Emergency Plan). If the Primary Plan doesn’t work, use the Alternate Plan. If the Alternate doesn’t work, use the Contingency Plan. If that fails, then accomplish the goal with the Emergency Plan.
