I am wondering how other wings or squadrons preform their alerting procedures.  i know that here in Oregon we have a paging system.  when our alerting officer gets the call from an agency he puts a page out to every one that has a alpha pager in the WMU.  then people can call into him to give their availabilities.

So i am wondering how other people handle their alerting procedures.  do you have some one in your squadron that gets a call from the wing level and then starts a squadron level alert tree.  just trying to get a feel for how other people do it.  i also am looking for the best way of alerting people in my squadron that don't have a pager in the wind database.  out here in Oregon it looks like we are going to have a nasty winter with a lot of flooding so i am just trying to figure it out before the crazy weather sets in.

Our squadron has a recall roster (one-page PDF document) that lists all active / qualified members. Start calling from the top, call the person below you, skip if you can't reach them, last person at the bottom calls the first person at the top. I can send you a sample if you want - nothing fancy.

What's a pager?  ;D

In New Jersey,the squadron commanders get a call from wing.  In my squadron the commander gets the call from wing, then he calls everyone on a list that has everyone who is ES qualified.

Each can call on staff as needed

Ground Branch = Ground Teams
Air Branch = Air Crews

Otherwise it is to much for 1 person to call.

Well, to be fair, both Matt and Julie are correct for WI Wing. Matt's got it right for the 99% of the 4am ELT missions. Julie's right for the other 1% that turn out to be "big" missions.

(Though if you want to be hyper-technical, it's the Logistics Section Chief that gets the resources that the Planning Section wants, who then assigns them to the Operations Section. The wonders of ICS at work!)
