This training is designed to provide all-hazards competencies and behaviors for command, general staff and selected unit leader positions within an Incident Management Team (IMT) environment. Competencies in the training are focused around the ability of the student to assume specific position responsibilities, lead assigned personnel, communicate effectively, and to ensure the completion of assigned tasks in order to meet identified objectives for the position. The need for a standardized approach to position specific training was first recognized in the mid-1980’s. This recognition was underscored by the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, in addition to the natural disasters of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

Apart of the response to the Paradise, California Fire. American Red Cross DR 769-19 Camp Fire. I have been working with our DST team here at the American Red Cross DROHQ Disaster Relief Operation Headquarters while working TIMS CS Customer Service my job included providing computer, printer and cell phone troubleshooting. My job included being apart of what I call a DST Disaster Services Technology Road Team to install equipment ( hotspots, printers and computers setting up the WiFi and pointing the equipment with IP addresses) and provide end-user assistance. So traveling to remote sites such as our American Red Cross shelters such as the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, California. And equipment recovery and accountability at out Shelter at the Butte County Fairgrounds in Gridley, CA and it Oroville Church of the Nazarene in Oroville, CA. And supplying our American Red Cross FAC Family Assistance Center in a former Walgreens with a computer and printer I would not have been able to deploy if a local animal hospital didn't offer to provide me with boarding for my dog for the two weeks. And also the support from the local animal shelter in which I volunteer at for my aging dog in which is like comfort therapy dog to me. As watching the news and social media sites about the devastation and destruction of the Camp Fire and wildfire that destroyed Paradise, California. You want to go and deploy and do what you can do to help. So I was all pack up to go but had to scramble to try and find away for my aging dog and cat to be taken care of for two weeks before I could sign up and be deployed with the American Red Cross Deployment to Chico, California DR 769-19 Camp Fire.

The above and only training I had for American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology Communications Service Associate. DST-CM-SA.

So I had a lot of Just-In-Time Training at on a real American Red Cross Deployment. But I ended up doing everything in American Red Cross DST Disaster Services Technology

I did everything but Communications (Radio) as there was NO (Radio Communications) going on at the time so did Networking (computing), Computer Operations and Customer Service.

This my first National Deployment with the American Red Cross since I have two animals a dog and cat in whom need to be taken care of as I had written on my Facebook page: Many Thanks must go to my parents Chris and Frances Kimball in whom had watched my two kids of the four legged type. Without there help I would not have been able to leave Ridgefield, CT and be able to help others with the American Red Cross down there in Florida. As I have no wife and or girlfreind and or close freinds to have around to be able to watch and take care of my two kids of the four legged type.

Plus my savings for another dog went out the door as my rent was just raised so wouldn't be able to afford costs of having a dog right now. As my Teddy a shih-tzu mix had passed away this past March 2019. Teddy was like a comfort therapy dog to me and helped me in so many ways. Maybe one day.
