Francis Smith, and he as given permission to share this overview
of the situation in South Carolina, their efforts and the
support they are receiving throughout this disaster relief
effort. Please feel free to share with your fellow units and

this:</span></font></b> we are not responding to a
disaster that has occurred. We are responding to a disaster
that is still in progress. Major flooding is still
occurring and will continue to occur through the weekend.
This is even more dangerous because people are seeing the
blue skies and assuming that all is okay. This is resulting
in many, many stranded people.<o:p></o:p></p>

style="font-size: 12.0pt">Today CAP performed Impact
Assessment and SAR flights over the most affected rivers
and in flood prone areas. Unfortunately, most of the
flood prone areas are very large in the flatlands, and
water is literally running over the ground from river to
river in some areas. We have no real way of knowing if
we saved lives today, but Im betting we did. CAP
aircraft identified a number of flooded and isolated
areas, noted where there were vehicles in distress,
located two unsafe bridges that had no law enforcement
or other barricades, and provided hundreds more in the
way of IA photos. We also flew roads in and out of <st1:city
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Georgetown</st1:place></st1:city>
helping SCEMD folks plan for evacuations and areas that
are likely to flood and thus close roads needed for
those evacuations. We are again getting real time
information to the EOC from the air and help is getting
to the right places.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span
style="font-size: 12.0pt">We had three new (in the
original wrapper) camera systems arrive from the NOC
today. These are small Garmin cameras that attach to a
wing strut and take straight down photos on a
particular flight profile. Well be taking a look at
the first sortie using those cameras tonight - we have
high hopes but we are the test case for sure. If we had
good success, well be flying all three of them
tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style="font-size: 12.0pt">Today, we flew aircraft from
SC, NC, VA, and MD wings, with thanks to the two
aircrews from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Georgia</st1:place></st1:country-region>
that were ready to come at a moments notice. This is
allowing our aircrews and mission base staff to be
rotated out a bit for some badly needed and well earned
rest. We appreciate you, and hopefully well see you in
the next few days. Our mission base staff was augmented
by a GA-8 and several van-loads of cadets from
Lowcountry, <st1:city w:st="on">Columbia</st1:city>,
and <st1:city w:st="on">Lexington</st1:city>, as well
as senior staff from <st1:state w:st="on">North
Carolina</st1:state> and <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Maryland</st1:place></st1:state>. We set
up a debriefing section in the main meeting room at SC
Wing HQ, and have support personnel in that section to
help get WMIRS populated with complete and meaningful
debriefing information. That information is also being
cross-decked quickly to the EOC. We are taking
advantage of our fiber connection to the internet here
to upload photos to FEMA at rates about 30 times faster
than typical high-speed internet.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

affected and likely affected roads, possibly with the

also expect to receive a long list of photo targets
(spot targets) along 4 or 5 of the affected rivers. We
wont receive those until in the morning, but that list
will be completed in the morning and repeated in the
afternoon for comparison purposes. We wont be
launching the majority of our aircraft (or dont expect
to) until after 9am, which is a welcome short break.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Civil Air Patrol really got spun up as part of
the SAR and disaster relief effort in <st1:state
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">South
Carolina</st1:place></st1:state>. The
weather was great in some areas, good enough
in others, and unfortunately almost good
enough in a few places. Our priority has been
on flying and identifying locations that need
or will shortly need SAR assets and getting
rescue to those locations. Right behind that,
and sometimes simultaneously with that, we
provided impact assessment reports and
photography. Even now, there are CAP members
that are compiling reports and continuing to
plan for the next operational periods. Well
kick off again early in the morning.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New

roundest of numbers, we had approximately 100
personnel involved, flew 14 aircraft, and
logged about 85 hours in the air today. We
expect similar numbers tomorrow. We have
received all of our taskings and have planned
and sorted those amongst several aircrew.
Kudos to everyone involved in our operations
from the mission base staff to the aircrews to
the communications operators stationed all
over the state. We have had incredible work
by Col Lindler and his helpers at our state
EOC for the past 72 hours or so - truly an
integral part of the response effort being put
forth by all levels of government.
Outstanding work by the members of <st1:city
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Columbia</st1:place></st1:city>
and Lexington Composite Squadrons who were
called and showed up within minutes yesterday
to prepare and staff our headquarters. They
were back today making sure everyone had what
they needed, no one went hungry, or didnt
have a place to stay. Mrs. Kim Phillips, our
Wing Administrator worked (approved) overtime
- well above and beyond the call of duty.
There are so many names out there deserving
of commendation and recognition - well
definitely get to that.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Carolina</st1:state> and <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Georgia</st1:place></st1:country-region>
flying with us right now. A GA-8 airvan and
an aircrew from <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Maryland</st1:place></st1:state>
arrived today, and are tasked first thing in
the morning. We have a Cessna 206 coming from
<st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">North
Carolina</st1:place></st1:state> tomorrow.
Every bit of support we have asked for we
have received without hesitation. This is the
concept of No Borders, No Boundaries in
action, and it is working better than you
could ever imagine for the citizens of the <st1:place

simply answered the phone, heard my request

we will start the day with more SAR runs in
flooded and flood-prone areas. Well then
continue to work on Aerial Photography and
Impact Assessment missions. As was so
prevalent today, we will also have a couple of
aircraft and aircrews set aside to fly
federal, state and local officials that need
to see what theyre dealing with.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

sure your minds are on safety as we continue
forward. Its very easy to get your mind so
wrapped around what we need to do that we
forget about the little things that can cause
incidents and accidents. We have mission
requirements and we need to meet them, but
remember to plan your response so that you can
respond to those needs safely, effectively,
and efficiently (in that order.)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
