I exepct to have the communications Center up and running by 6am.  I do not
have the SAG vehicle times, nor di I have the rest site operational times.
I expect that we will have rolling support requirements all day long, with
most of the need being later in the morning and early afternoon.

I will work out a schedule of coverage and send it out to the list.
