Folks;

Here's the latest bulletin from the ARRL Volunteer Information Webpage:

Tuesday, September 2, 2008 1854 UTC

AS OF THIS DATE AND TIME, THERE ARE NO UNMET PERSONNEL NEEDS FOR ARES IN THE
GUSTAV IMPACT AREA

ARES® Volunteers that have the ability to travel into the impacted areas of
Gustav must make their availability known to their Section Manager and/or
Section Emergency Coordinator. Individuals should not directly contact Field
Organization Leadership in the impacted Sections with questions on their
staffing needs.

When a staffing request is made by an impacted Section, this information will be
transmitted to all SM/SECs and will be posted on this page. SM/SECs will react
to the request based upon the mission assignment and the availability of ARES
volunteers. Specific details on the staffing request will be posted.

No personnel will be accepted into the impact areas without being processed
through this protocol. All ARES volunteers must be vetted through their Section
Manager or Section Emergency Coordinator prior to all deployments.

REMEMBER, DO NOT SELF DEPLOY! YOU WILL BE TURNED BACK!
