Subject: Request Eastern Massachusetts ARES Stand-By Moblization for Flooding
Date: Sun, 14 May 2006 05:36:04 -0400
Hello to all....
....EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS ARES REQUESTED TO GO TO
STAND-BY MOBLIZATION TO SUPPORT SKYWARN OPERATIONS
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WORK OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS....
....PRIMARY TARGET ZONE FOR ARES OPERATIONS IS ESSEX,
MIDDLESEX, SUFFOLK, NORFOLK AND PLYMOUTH COUNTIES.
OTHER AREAS ARE REQUESTED FOR STANDBY MOBLIZATION
FOR POTENTIAL ARESMAT OPERATIONS WITHIN THE EASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS SECTION....
....POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING RIVALING THE OCTOBER 2005
EVENT IN STORE FOR THE REGION....
Continued heavy rains since Friday Night will stay with us
through Sunday Night across Eastern Massachusetts. This will
result in the potential for flooding rivaling the October 2005
event. The greatest risk is in South-Central New Hampshire,
Northeast Massachusetts including the Greater Boston area and
the area south of Boston from the I-95 and Route 3 corridor
and points east in Norfolk and Plymouth counties. Widespread
rainfall of 5-10" with isolated higher amounts are possible in
this region. The rest of Eastern Massachusetts could experience
3-6" of rain with isolated higher amounts. The threat for
flooding could last through Monday with isolated pockets of
flooding possible in any scattered thunderstorms on Tuesday.
ARES Stand-by moblization means prepare for possible
deployment but do NOT self-deploy. Prepare your Go Kit and
make sure personal preparedness is complete so that if a
deployment is required you may do so. We ask all ARES
personnel that are cross-trained in SKYWARN to support
SKYWARN operations by checking rivers and streams from a
SAFE distance for potential flooding. This is especially important
in Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Plymouth counties.
Home stations that can support net control and liaison tasks are
requested to do so. RACES in Region I and II and the State
EOC will reactivate at 0800 Sunday Morning. Any MARS stations
looking for reports suitable for EEI's should monitor local
VHF/UHF SKYWARN frequencies, 6 Meters or the New-ENG
Reflector EchoLink *NEW-ENG, Node: 9123 and IRLP reflector
9123 for information that may meet the criteria.
Hopefully, this does not turn into a major operation, however, if
it does, I look forward to working with all of you during this
timeframe. Thanks to all of you for your continued support of
ARES and SKYWARN and I'm sure Tom Kinahan, N1CPE, our
state RACES Radio Officer appreciates the backup support
ARES and SKYWARN provides RACES and he thanks those
RACES folks that are active for their support.
Respectfully Submitted,
Robert Macedo (KD1CY)
