                            the Civil Air Patrol really got spun up as

                            in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place

                             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
