[GCARC] Fwd: Our County OEM is Asking for our Suppot

[Bob Keogh]

Good Evening All,


At last, our Gloucester County Director of Emergency Management, (Dennis McNulty) has come to us (GCARC), to request our Participation in the Child Abduction Response Team (CART), that is in the process of being formed. This is HUGE and we cannot let him down. Many of you have told me that the primary reason you became involved in Amateur Radio was to provide a service to our community. This is our opportunity to do it!



We’ve all seen the Amber Alerts on the bottom of our TV screen, on posters, and on our Smart Phones. The last time we had one here in Gloucester County was 10 years ago when Autumn Pasquale was abducted in Clayton NJ. That case was all over the news and social media for days and tugged at all of our hearts.



Our role as volunteers will be to provide support services to the County Justice Department, which has overall responsibility for the CART program. These services could include, behind the scenes tasks, such as distribution of posters, distribution of food and water, staff hot line calls and providing Emergency Communications during a search. So, you could even include your family members.



There will be more definitive information provided in the near future, including a presentation by the County CART Coordinator, Lt. Stacie Lick.



As your GCARC Emergency Coordinator, I’m asking for you to please consider participating in this program.



Thank you!



Bob Keogh (KD2NEC)
