[W3GV] Erie County RACES

[Ucdavid at aol.com]

There is a possibility of the Erie County EOC being opened Monday night  
into Tuesday.  We will need at least two operators to staff it at all  times.
 
Also, Local EMA Coordinators are being asked for their amateur radio  
staffing needs. This could involve locations anywhere in the county, so please  
indicate if you are able to travel to another area within the county.  We  
will do our best to limit travel.
 
Please respond with your availability (days and times) via e-mail to 
_wx3e at arrl.net_ (mailto:wx3e at arrl.net)  or call  me at 881-8676.
If you are on a pre-assigned team, please contact your team leader with  
your availability.
 
If you want a good check list for supplies to have in case of extended  
outages, please visit _http://www.ready.gov/basic-disaster-supplies-kit_ 
(http://www.ready.gov/basic-disaster-supplies-kit) .
 
We will have more information on the 9 PM net tonight.
 
Finally, remember that your family and home are your #1 concern.  Keep  
safe.
