[PAO] September Disaster Preparedness Month

[Cianciolo, Lt Col, Paul]

That makes me even more convinced that CAP should not be separating PAO and
PIO responsibilities as is now. We are one organization and can't
compartmentalize it so much. SAR, HLS, and DR missions are part of the
whole mission. Without them, would CAP be here? At times its like being in
two different organizations depending on what the activity is.
