Firestorm work day 5

Today I worked out of headquarters with Wayne Smith doing special assignments. The nature of this emergency caused some mass confusion and alot of information was lost. Wayne was put in charge of finding the information and bringing it back to headquarters. Once that was completed we went to the closed staff shelter and helped close it down. The cots were scrubbed, rinsed, dryed, folded and boxed for future disasters. All 800 of them. Luckily we had 25 other people helping.
We surveyed the damage in Ramona today and conferenced called with Hilltop. What a great group they are. Ramona will be the target of the work the response team now we will establish where the work camp will be. If you can take time off work start looking for time off, we will try to be in Ramona from Nov 3- Nov. 10th.
The damage there is much different from Katrina, but from the sounds of things was frightening in its own way.
