Subject: 	Possible Activation Wed 06/28

A limited activation may occur sometime later today: Wed June 28 due to potential Deleware river flooding and the possible release of additional water from upstream sources.

At this time I estimate only 4 to 6 operators are needed to cover Stockton and county EOCs.  Additional units may be required if additional coverage is requested.

I anticipate that Stockton shifts will run 3 to 4 hours beginning late afternoon extending till midnight or slightly beyond - all depending on river rise and rate.

EOC shifts will also be 3 to 4 hours with the opportunity to rotate to Stockton if desired.

Lambertville members should NOT respond to the county activation but should respond to their municipal EOC if activated.

Please maintain a radio watch on 147.375 - I will have a "hot" HT with me if not in the car.  Worst case, my cell is (908) 304-5563 but note that it does NOT work at the EOC due to interference.

I am told that Stockton has equipment and an antenna but have not confirmed so please make sure you are properly prepared with rain gear, boots, mobile or HT with fully charged and spare batteries and a flashlight.

More info as it becomes available,
