Safety

The CAP Safety Policy is to minimize the risks faced by our membership in the performance of their volunteer duties. No matter your duty assignments, our Safety Officers have evaluated risks and will provide mitigation plans to provide a safe environment for our members.  Some duty assignments do require special training and Op Qualifications sign-offs in eServices.  Other assignments will have training provided during the activity, prior to deploying.  Our goal is to have fun, be safe, and come home with fantastic memories of SkyFest 2022!  All participants should complete the General Emergency Services (GES) training prior to this activity.

What do I bring?

Because this is an overnight activity, you will receive an email with a packing list and Operation Orders after you register.
