Aside from the names not being the same, there are other differences between radio prepping and emergency communications. One of the biggest is that Emcomm generally follows the Incident Command System (ICS) https://training.fema.gov/is/courseoverview.aspx?code=IS-100.c

Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
Well, I guess I need to figure out how to start livestreaming from the hilltops so here we go with the first attempt. I am not sure what direction I will go with these. I’ll practice a little and then settle on my own style for future hilltop livestreams. First note to self . . . spot yourself BEFORE going live. Second note to self . . . start the livestream in landscape. No going back on either one of these once the stream starts. I had a tripod, but started the livestream in portrait and so couldn’t use it. Ooops! More to come! I’ll eventually theme and brand my style, whatever that ends up being.
