Hi Joe, thanks for the hello. So, where is Winnsboro? I'm not familiar with it. I guess with 254 counties it would be easy to lose a few towns. I see that you've taken a number of the ICS classes, too. Aren't they a joy? Glad to say I've gotten them behind me. I have to say they have made our job easier. We've orgainized for hurricanes for the last two years and started implementing. Fortunately, we've been missed entirely. We are on 77 and when the valley is evacuated, we have not only our populace to plan for, but up to two million evacuees flowing thru four N-S lanes. The last time this happened several years ago, there was a huge traffic jam. People were going to the restroom in public parking lots, trash everywhere, etc. This year we contracted with a company named Garner that will bring in all the equipment we need. It's already set up and will be activated with a single phone call. They bill FEMA later. We've already gone the route of requesting needed equipment. Yeah, right. It sounds good on paper. Thank God for companies like Garner. We're well prepared now. Have you had any experiences with FEMA yet?

Hi, how's it going? I just read your reply to my question on RIT Team training and wonder if you could tell me a little more about that denor rescue you were talking about.
