Subject: HOT: Hurricane IDA Alert Order

Hurricane IDA could impact the central gulf and southeastern parts of the United States as early as Monday.  Wings in the these areas (especially LA, MS, AL, FL and GA)  should make preparations to safeguard CAP assets and prepare to respond to requests for assistance after the storm.

At this time, identified wings in SER and  SWR should:

        Update Resource Lists *

        Update Aircraft Lists *

        Update Alert Rosters * (include SMS text message addresses for cell phones)

        Initiate Communications Checks (including HF Rapid Deployment Kits, all other HF-ALE radios and Tactical (Portable) Repeaters; make sure your members are trained on these important tools and ready to operate them…all wings should be doing this.)

        Test specialized assets (ADIS, ARCHER, cameras, charge batteries, etc….all Wings with these assets should do this.)  Also, start identifying crews that will be available to deploy to the disaster area to operate these assets.

        Check aircraft and vehicles to determine readiness; ensure they are fueled and ready to go

        Identify resources, especially aircraft, that may need to be relocated to safer areas and coordinate with the NOC for a mission number if movement becomes necessary

        Identify fully trained personnel available for post-storm missions

        Do not deploy CAP members or assets until approval has been received from 1st AF through the NOC

 * updated via WMIRS

 Remember that after Hurricane Katrina, HF ALE radios and SMS text messaging via cell phone were two of the most reliable communication methods for the areas affected by the storm.

Additional details will be provided as information becomes available. The latest update on IDA can be obtained from the National Hurricane Center at the following link:  http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

"It was amazing how quickly procedures changed once the unit got into
combat. Paperwork went out the window and replacements were made by verbal
request. I began to realize something about the U.S. Army I had never before
thought possible. Although under garrison conditions it is highly regimented
and somewhat bureaucratic, in the field it relaxes and recognizes individual
initiative. This flexibility was one of the greatest strengths of the U.S.
Army in World War II."  1LT Belton Y. Cooper, 'Death Traps', 1998

Unless I hear otherwise from the Volunteer Examiners (VE) team, they have us
set up to take the Technician test tomorrow at our meeting.  I have asked
them to move it to next week, but that may not be doable for them.

You will need to bring: $14 cash & 2 forms of ID (one picture and your
social security card).  The FCC requires the SSN to establish your federal
registration number (FRN) that all FCC data is based on.  The SSN will not
be displayed to the public online or otherwise, but is required to start the
FRN.  If you can make a few copies of these two IDs before you come, that
will help.

I will endeavor to cover the few items we have yet to discuss before the
test, so if you can make it a tad early, I will endeavor to do the same.

Remember, today's meeting will be held at the Lively Pointe Rec Center on
O'Connor across from Irving HS, NOT at MacArthur HS. This is due to a previously
scheduled meeting in the library.  We will still be working on the amateur radio
license class.

Due to final exam week, no student activities are permitted; therefore,
there is no squadron meeting Tuesday, 2 Jun 09.

As usual, we will be meeting in a different location for the summer on the
Irving side of the squadron.  This year, we have made arrangements with the
Irving Parks Dept to meet at the Lively Pointe Recreation Center, 909 N.
O'Connor Rd, Irving.

Rather that driving N on MacArthur Blvd from 183, O'Connor Rd is the next
exit to the E of MacArthur Blvd.  Go S on O'Connor about 1.5 or 2 miles.
The second traffic light S of 183 turns L into Irving HS or R into Lively
Pointe Rec Center - turn R into the center and come inside.  The center is
quite excited to have us there, and there is a lot of space for exercises,
training, etc.

See you at Lively Pointe on 9 Jun!

The field trip to Carswell AFB / NAS Ft Worth JRB is still a go for 1030
today.  We will meet at Redbird / Dallas Exec Airport and proceed to the
base.  The C130 flight fell through due to mission requirements elsewhere,
but all other aspects of the trip are GO.  We expect to return by about
1630.

On behalf of Col Letteer, CAP/SE,

Your National Safety Team has completed the on-line Basic ORM Course. We would like all members to complete this course to gain a better understanding of what is required for their everyday use of ORM.

The course is made up of PowerPoint slides followed by a 20 question on-line test.  The course and test may be accessed by going to the ORM link on the National Safety web page at http://members.gocivilairpatrol.com/safety/.

This course will be followed up by the Intermediate Level Course designed for Senior Mission Base and FRO's, and the Executive Level Course designed for Commanders.  These courses are in final preparation and should be on-ine in the next few weeks.

Regards,
Lyle E. Letteer, Jr., Col, CAP
National Safety Officer
