How teams, signals, and drills actually run when the plan leaves the page

CERT, contingency plans, signaling procedures, and field SOPs. 397 article titles. The checklists stay in the app.

§ 01

The direct answer

Field Operations is the procedure pile that used to sit inside Kits. CERT roles, five-point contingency plans, ground-to-air signals, and the drills you run on a quiet Tuesday so they exist on a loud one.

A plan nobody has walked is a PDF. Incident command is names and jobs, not a logo. Signaling is a site, a pattern, and a person whose job is to keep doing it — not a flare you fire once and hope.

397 titles sit behind this hub. Family disaster plans, radio nets, and volunteer checklists live here. The sequences stay in the offline library.

What a field procedure actually has to own

If nobody can name the rally point and the signal, you do not have a plan.

Contingency
Who leaves, who stays, when you abort, and how the rest of the team finds out.
Signal
A site rescuers can see, a pattern you can repeat, and a person whose job it is.
CERT
Safety, teamwork, and what volunteers must not do. Scope beats heroics.
Drill
Walk the route. Time the grab bag. Do it once for real.
Comms
A net that works when the cell grid does not. Call signs beat shouting.
