Training
is critical to the mission of the NYC-ARECS. We hold
by the position that experience gained through
training and drilling results in positive outcomes for
communications volunteers. Because of this, NYC-ARECS
remains dedicated to training and devotes much effort
to learning necessary skills and protocols. As new
technologies, techniques and protocols in
communication emerge, NYC-ARECS personnel must stay
one step ahead to provide the high level of
professionalism expected by the organizations and
agencies they serve.
