Write your reply.

assistant: Martin,
  The program we were discussing is a program written in Texas Wing for use
during CAP search and rescue activities.  It allows us to access our
membership data from our system called NINQ (no idea what that stands for)
couple it with the Emergency Service data base (compiled when you fill out a
CAPF100) within the program and then place all the data on the appropri- ate
CAP forms.  This includes both ground and air operations, vehicle and
aircraft registration, Mission Coordinators log, and a lot of other nice to
have information.  As since the organization is a national one, all of our
forms are similar and the program is developed into one of the most widely
used programs in the ES area.  This is in conjunction with a program called
GridFind which converts lat/long into CAP grid coordinates, with distances
and bearings from VOR's and Airports displayed.  There are at least these
two, and possibly three or four more used by CAP during SAR/CD mission
activity.  The advent of the affordable laptop is making these programs more
accessable for the field units.  The squadron I command main- tains the
system on three full size PC's and one laptop.  One of the full size PC's and
printer is deployed to the local mission base during mission activity and the
admin section enters data.  In fixed locations where networks are available,
the data is shared through the system and printed out at specific locations.
It is hoped at Wing HQ (I double as the Ground Ops Officer for Ohio Wing) to
place two laptops in the mission kits and provide them to facilities on a
need basis, money is supposed to be in the budget.....
Hope this helps.  Let me know if you would like anyother information.

user: You are replying to Jim Leslie about "Memphis".

Write your reply.

assistant: Jim,  A couple of years a woman and I were driving to a disaster dog seminar
down near Holly Springs, about 50? miles south of Memphis.  As we were riding
around the river area (downtown) of Memphis, we were rubbernecking like any
tourists saying "Oh, look at that one!"  and "oo,check that over there", but
what we were looking at was the construction of all those beautiful old
buildings.  Very few of them had any reenforcement at all and most didn't
even have any soldier rows in
all that brick.  When the New Madrid fault goes that whole city is going to
pop like a cheap prophylactic.   If it is during the day when everyone is
downtown, there is going to be incredible slaughter.

user: You are replying to Daniel Reemes about "CAP".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Daniel,  I am a senior member (I have refused to become an officer) of
CAP.  I can't afford to be a pilot, but have a great time as a
scanner/observer (one find/save a year ago and a find last weekend.  Because
of New Mexicos SAR plan structure we have been able to expand our SAREXes a
time or two to include visual, ELT and human targets supplied by area ground
teams and included a ground search scenario so the ground teams (non CAP)
could search for, find, and "rescue" the "subjects".  Some would be "found"
by CAP with a parachute or ELT target and have to be rescued.  These
excercised were super for working out some of the problems we've had in the
past on real searchs.
These included things like ground teams keeping radios on, which frequencies,
radio protocols, aircraft and ground team capabilities. Learning to
communicate and understand each others dialects and knowing about such aids
as charts/maps and how their differences can cause much confusion can help
the air and ground teams communicate and become
more of a partnership.  That is  a plus/plus situation for the poor schmuck
in a broken airplane or walking circles around some tree as well as possibly
making our jobs easier, shorter and more successful.
A live find has no comparison to a find that was not a find in time.

It was brought up at our SARDOG meeting, but no one really knew much other
than it is a yearly event and uses all features of SAR in the search. Any
information would really be appreciated!!!!

assistant: Chanda,
Burke County EMS, Morganton, North Carolina, will be holding their
annual SAR exercize on 22 through 26 March. This is one of the largest
exercizes on the East Coast and has over 150 participants from teams all
across the U.S.
The exercize is coordinated by Steve Foster, Burke County EMA, a NASAR
V.P. and is run as a real time search, from call out to demobilization.
Participants do not have to attend every day, but are put into the
search effort when they arrive on scene, just as in a real search. Also
you may have the opportunity to fill any position in the ICS structure
from IC to crew member.
Last year a Florida Dog Team found the "lost" subject (A Burke SAR team
member) on the third day. Unfortunatly they were somewhat disorented
(LOST) and had to overnight. Make sure you have a good 24hr pack! FYI
the "lost" subject is never found until the last day. The dog team was
given a note, saying that you found the note not me. This allows the
exercise to continue.
Great exercize and great people. They will be holding a SAR Tech II test
the last day of the exercize. Coming from the land of 2O ft contour
lines, the moutains of Burke Co can be challenging. Also the weather
that time of year is unpredictable expect everything from highs in the
70's to snow or rain everday. Contact Burke County EMS at 704-437-1911
for more information
See you there.
Charles
