UPDATE 2
October 10, 2024, 19:58 EDT
The preliminary plan for the SET is to have two abbreviated sessions to allow the most participation possible. The dates are Saturday, November 9, and Saturday, November 16. Each session will be 08:30 – 10:30. The activities at the State level will likely be close to the same as in the original plan. The details are still under development and will be published after review and approval.
Hopefully, this plan will accommodate as many members as possible with your local exercise plans.
Thanks,

UPDATE
The GA ARES 2024 SET schedule will be a topic of discussion at the District Emergency Coordinator meeting on October 9. More details will be posted after the meeting.
September 30, 2024, 21:00 EDT
The GA ARES 2024 SET has been postponed because of several factors including:
- Planning for the state level activities was delayed for several days due to the activation for Hurricane Helene. Completing the planning process and distributing the information in the required time frame will be very difficult with the time remaining.
- Many of the Net Control Stations for the SET are the same individuals who spent tens of hours supporting the activation. It is not yet known if everyone needed would be able to participate. At least two of the scheduled Net Control Stations are located in the heavily affected area.
- A large number of members may not be able to participate because of their current situation. These are members are in the areas with heavy damage.
No new date has been selected. As soon as more information is available, it will be posted here.
To our members who are dealing with the damage and the lack of essential services, we wish you the best.
