Hawaii is a diffcult communications area with the mountains and valley's. Sometime messages need to be passed from repeater to repeater, instructing the party to join you on different repeater freq, or just the message itself. I will look into the available frequencies that might be line of sight from the west side to Kaneohe.
Form micro communities, comprising of a number of streets and closing them down with the member at the end of the the street is assigning checkpoints with his neighbors. Have a perimeter closed off with the street or streets that are part of the micro community. Create your own comms plan in case of emergencies like black out, tsnunami, flooding and hurricanes/tropical storms.
Ex, 1hr check-ins from each check point and change of guard. Micro-community leaders notify 911 that you have secured a perimeter of neighbors at such and such streets. Have community leaders fall into one command location for the duration of the emergency and receive/exchange transmissions with an observation post or a house with a vantage point, check points and patrols.....we happen to have a kids park at the north west corner of the micro-community so that is under constant observation and that there are reports as needed and the same hourly check in. Say "OP to command, vehicles approaching from the park, approaching checkpoint a, b or c." Or if you're pheonetic like me, use pheonetics. The checkpoint should already be on the air and alerted. If they are neighbors and you already positively ID, let them pass.
If riots head towards your micro community, the rest of the neighbors need a situation report, or. SITREP. If you spot something out of the ordinary, say SPOTREP and describe the situation on the command frequency. Same thing for a SITREP, those are hourly check-ins. Say "SITREP, 0300hrs, all clear. Out.";or "SITREP, large group of BLM/ANTIFA approaching checkpoint Alpha"
You spot a shady vehicle coming slowly towards the checkpoint that you don't recognize as a neighbor. Say "SPOTREP, Checkpoint Charlie to Command, unknown vehicle approaching at a slow speed on Kaipu road". The commander on duty (Decide on who is the micro-community leader and 2nd in command, intelligence and supply leaders.) consults with his staff and makes the necessary decisions and that the orders are passed to the relevant party.
The command center could launch a DJI Mavic to watch the situation from above, if they are on different streets or in the rear with the gear.
The point is, when the alarms go off for a hurricane is heading to hit Ewa Beach the hardest for example.... micro-communities lock down their neighbor hood. This is an important tyoe of lock down but who knows if we will be alone to fend for ourselves and there is major damage or loss of life. Prepare for the worst, pray for the best
Most of you are mil or ex mil or leo anyway, use sop comms protocol but make sure everyone is on the same page. Begin documentation of events.
