Solar Eclipse Call-Taking is an encompassing course created to discuss solar eclipses, the science behind them, and their multi-day impact on a community, as the impact on public safety services is much longer than the time span of the eclipse. That community impact will include factors such as traffic, boating, hiking, and aviation dangers, as well as the potential physical and emotional impacts on the community. The course will dive deep into various call types that may see an increase from out-of-area visitors, as well as eclipse impact and some suggestions to mitigate these calls. Next, students will look at the challenges faced by public safety infrastructure, including anticipated telephony challenges, potential workarounds, and land/mobile radio. We will discuss lessons learned from other organizations as they faced similar multi-day events and self-care for the team.
