This from the May 17, 2006 ARES E-Letter (courtesty of ARRL):

Typically, there is a small blizzard of lists, procedures and documents that every ARES team member is supposed to have - and the latest version, too. To make syncing-up a little easier to manage, the Vashon (Washington) ARES team's "Document Master" maintains a ZIP file of all the required stuff on the club server. That way, it can all be downloaded at once and kept on a home PC, rather than on a server that may not be available in an emergency. Of course, it's also available on the server and can be accessed from anywhere when needed, too. -- Ward Silver, N0AX

Make reduced-size photocopies of your certificates that the Emergency Management Institute sends in the mail.  By doing this, and putting the reduced size copy in laminate, it can be carried in one of those neat neck lanyards available from the ARRL. Add a simple plastic ID carrier, available at any office or department store, and you have what is needed to prove compliance of any number of courses or classes. I carry my ARRL orange call sign badge, along with my ARES ID card, Red Cross First Aid and CPR cards, and the reduced size FEMA certificates IS-100, IS-200, IS-700. With three plastic ID pockets and the call sign badge, it makes a neat and professional looking arrangement.  -- Jerry Palmer, N3KRX, Houston, Delaware
