[Don Lewis (KI4D)]

This note follows up on our ARC net discussions relating to the outstanding
ham operator disaster relief support in the flood-stricken areas of
Colorado, this item includes mention of Craig who spoke about the effort
during the net.

"On September 16, Colorado Section Emergency Coordinator Robert Wareham,
NØESQ, represented ARES as Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper (D), FEMA
Administrator Craig Fugate, KK4INZ, US Senators Mark Udall (D-CO) and
Michael Bennett (D-CO), US Representative Cory Gardner (R-4), Mike Coffman
(R-6), and Ed Perlmutter (D-7) visited the state emergency operations
center. Wareham said that he and Emit Hurdelbrink, WØUAW — an regional
emergency coordinator — spoke briefly with Hickenlooper “who thanked us for
our service,” Wareham said. He added that Fugate also spoke with him about
the ARES post-flood activities. Wareham reported in a post to the ARRL
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/coloradoarrl/> Colorado Section Facebook
page that ARES volunteers have been putting in 12 hour or longer days since
the flooding started."
