<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sharing with the public what we do and who we are,
as a community oriented emergency response organization is not necessarily a bad
idea! In fact, this is something that we should indeed consider as we hold
training activities, to invite our local officals and media to witness for
themselves to showcase our capabilities and prepardeness. For years, some
of our CAP units in Virginia jointly participated in emergency preparedness
missions and it was well received. When it came time to recognize the ES
response teams..... Civil Air Patrol was among that specialized group.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>How many times have we heard a report that "the
searchers" did such and such, or the state police reports........ or other
phrasing akin to this? We need to partner with our fellow ES teams and
when needed, we'll be side by side with them as a more visible partner.
Courting these other organizations, our local and state police, etc., ...
and media, sharing our intense training and capabilities is something we indeed
should consider. We indeed are participating in more Disaster Relief
missions, we are also focusing more on these missions, so let's tell others that
we're here and prepared to help.</FONT></DIV>

PAO needs to write a PA Plan and a Crisis Communications Plan, which used to
be posted on the NHQ website; the CCP is no longer there, because it was
considered sensitive. So I don’t see how the PAOs could be writing articles
about this, since this information is not to be published for the general

answer is quite simple. When tasked by the AFRCC, CAP assists the requesting
