Florida Airboat Association - access to flooded areas
Florida Airboat Association ratifies
CERT involvement
The Florida Airboat Association today ratified a motion that will
involve the Association and its 37 comprising local county clubs in
the CERT program, at its quarterly meeting.
A proposal, presented by Robert Dummett, chairman of the FAA's Safety
Committee, and member of the Florida CERT Association, demonstrated
through newspaper accounts, TV video footage, photographs and
personal experience how the airboating community can benefit the
citizens of Florida by providing a unique and valuable resource in
the event of flooding or other natural disasters.
The flooding events that occurred following Hurricane Jeanne and the
assistance provided by members of the Florida Airboat Association to
the residents of the Peace Creek RV & Mobile Home Park, near Lake
Wales, was used as an example of how airboats can be of benefit
during a flood event.
The Florida Airboat Association is eager to start working with local
CERT coordinators in setting up training sessions and
deployment criteria.
For further information on the Florida Airboat Association and its
affiliates go to: www.flairboat.com
