ARES DISTRICT 3 BULLETIN NR 07.34
DATE: August 26, 2007
SUBJECT: BRING IT TO THEIR ATTENTION
Don't make a big deal about it, but when you see or hear someone
having a problem, they may not know they're having it, you might let
them know about it. If you think that you may embarrass the person
with the problem, call them on the telephone and explain what the
problem is. In any case don't just let the problem go unnoticed,
it might cause bigger problems later. If you're communicating with
someone on the radio and they have a buzz or hum on their signal,
casually make a mention of what you hear. They may have already
been told of the problem and are going to look into it. On the
other hand they may want more information about the problem and want to
get it fixed right away. In any case don't just ignore the
problem, even though it may just go away. Most people want to know
if they are having a problem so they can get it fixed.
