[FARC] Emergency Communications and Preparation

[Justin Brock]

I'm available whenever I'm not tied up at work. I'll be on shift from 6am to 6pm on the 29th, and staff duty from 9am on the 30th to 9am on the 31st. After that I'm off until the 2nd. If the schedule changes I'll let you know. Best way to reach me is at work, 301-619-7696 (manned 24 hours/day). If I'm not there, they can forward you to my cell/home/work location.

	…sometimes we just have to step back and see if the solutions to our problems lies outside the box.
