    Davy Crocket Incident Support Request: 19-20 March 2011

    By Daren Lewis

    Shipmates,
    We have a request to support the Davy Crocket Incident response by distributing flyers during the early mornings this upcoming weekend, Saturday 19 March and Sunday 20 March. The intent is to get information to the maximum number of boaters.

    While this is a short notice request it is an important one and directly supports the most significant marine safety incident in the Sector AOR in many years. This is our core area of competency and we owe our shipmates our full support as they work to protect the environment and the lives of the response team.

    The request is to cover three ramps:
    • 42nd St.
    • Chinook Landing
    • Camas/Washougal
    The launching period for fishermen is fairly brief so we've set a single shift of 0630-0900. Being on hand before 0630 is likely to be helpful and you will likely be done before 0900.

    Signing up: As with our recent shows we are using an online schedule which will be updated as members step forward. Please send an email to me - veryuseful@gmail.com to volunteer for a shift. 

    Ideally we will have two members at each ramp. We will be simply handing out the flyers and briefing boaters as they launch.

    Logistics: Each shift at each ramp will have a packet at the Auxiliary office at MSU Portland late Thursday evening. One member of the team is asked to pick up the packet -- please coordinate with your watch mates. The packet will contain 50-100 flyers and an ICS 214 to report your time to the ICP. We will contact you after your shifts for reporting your activity - the ICS 214 is for reference so we all know what information will be requested.
