SUBJECT:    2023 UT-TF1 MEMBER READINESS EVENT (MRE)

 

 

UTAH TASK FORCE 1

Salt Lake Urban Search & Rescue

 

 

MEMBER READINESS EVENTS (MRE) held in February and March 2023

 

Every year, all members must participate in a Member Readiness Event (MRE) to complete several required steps to become/remain deployable.  For 2023, we are again consolidating the in-person portion, increasing the number of dates and times to reduce congregate gathering, and putting the task force update presentation into digital/recorded format.

 

Existing deployable members with assigned red bags will be expected to come in for respiratory mask fit testing, gear check and member file/contact information updates.  This year’s pre-MRE objectives include completion of the “MRE 2023” assignment via the ESF9 training portal: (1) “MRE 2023” Task Force update video; (2) UTTF1 Deployment Sequence Training, (3) Online Database Access video, (4) SARCOP introduction video.  MRE video materials will be available on January 20. 

 

New or non-deployable/non-certified members are not expected to attend the MRE in person but are required to watch the “MRE 2023” video and to update their member files with Jennifer Gregerson.  New members will be issued gear and fit-tested at a later date based on the availability of training/certification courses from FEMA.  

 

MREs are scheduled for the dates listed below.  There are two or three event times for each date (0900, 1100, or 1300).  Members only need to attend one date/one session. 

Location:  UT-TF1 Headquarters, 6726 South Navigator Drive in West Jordan, Utah 84084; be sure to sign-in at the main entrance.
