That makes me even more convinced that CAP should not be separating PAO and
PIO responsibilities as is now. We are one organization and can't
compartmentalize it so much. SAR, HLS, and DR missions are part of the whole
mission. Without them, would CAP be here? At times its like being in two
different organizations depending on what the activity is.

I think maybe I didn't really get my idea clearly across.  My idea was not
to write about our CCS.you are correct that OPSEC applies here.bur rather to
write about our training to support our communities in time of disaster.  No

OPSEC issues there.  This is to let our communities know that CAP members in
their local communities are professional volunteers dedicated to helping in

Time of crisis be it natural or man made as well as search and rescue
operations.

I don't believe that's a good idea, Tom.

 

Every PAO needs to write a PA Plan and a Crisis Communications Plan, which
used to be posted on the NHQ website; the CCP is no longer there, because it
was considered sensitive. So I don't see how the PAOs could be writing
articles about this, since this information is not to be published for the
general public.

 

The answer is quite simple. When tasked by the AFRCC, CAP assists the
requesting agency, and we do so following NIMS operational guidelines. That
is both the long and the short of it. Writing anything more about it would
probably ring OPSEC bells somewhere.

 

Best regards,

September is national Disaster Preparedness Month.  I was just curious about

How many PAO's are writing articles about how their wings are/have been
training to address local disaster response.
