[arrl-odv:26792] Reporting in Sunday 10/15

Sunday evening report follows From: "Corey, Michael, KI1U" Date: October 15, 2017 at 8:18:42 PM EDT Subject: Reporting in Sunday 10/15 Day 10 – 10/15/17 Our team is starting two make their way back to San Juan to process out. They go through this at Red Cross HQ San Juan and then head over to the Puerto Rico EOC for billeting. I received a message that the patient transported from Culebra to Centro Medico in San Juan has been transported to the mainland for further treatment. Team Rubicon, one of our VOAD partners, arranged for the transport to the States. The volunteer with Team Rubicon that coordinated this is Carlos Chiossone, N2CSI. The fact that Amateur Radio had some connection through the entire event has caught the attention of CNN. They may look at interviewing one of the team here, as Carlos is handling Team Rubicon logistics stateside. We continue to pursue a solid method to transport the seven generators to San Juan. I am working with FEMA External Affairs, FEMA Intergovernmental Affairs, FCC and US Army on the deployment of 10,000 AM/FM radios being donated by the National Association of Broadcasters. The Amateur Radio role in this will likely be minimal, however the ARRL Puerto Rico Section has offered to assist however they can. 73, Mike Corey, KI1U Emergency Preparedness Manager ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio® 225 Main Street Newington CT 06111-1494 Telephone: 860-594-0222 Fax: 860-594-0259 email: ki1u@arrl.org<mailto:ki1u@arrl.org> ________________________________
