CBDR/WYDR STAND-BY DEPLOYMENT NOTICE: California
Dear CBDR and WYDR Volunteers,
This is a STAND-BY Notice for deploying to the California Wildfires “Personal Property Recovery” efforts (PPR).
The California SBDR State Director has been working on getting final information and regulations for SBDR Teams to come to assist him with the PPR. As you are aware, they have strict guidelines for this work in California and are still working out the final details. This work could begin at anytime and they have asked for our SBDR Region1Teams to respond first before a national call out. I hope you will consider deploying for one week or two weeks to assist with this major disaster.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
* This will not be called ASH-OUT as we know due to the local government regulations – the term will be (PPR) PERSONAL PROPERTY RECOVERY.
* CBDR/WYDR will mainly focus on this PPR unless we are asked to serve in a different area of need
* When working in the PPR field….YOU MUST abide by all local government regulations which includes wearing the proper PPE. (If you are not able to wear a respirator of N-95 etc. mask, then you will not be allowed in that area. There may be other areas that you can work in if you deploy.
* Our CBDR/WYDR teams are very experienced with this type of work, and it will be more like what we did with the Marshall Fire a few years ago. Details will be shared about how PPR will work on the arrival in CA.
* Our vehicles and units are being prepared for this upcoming deployment
* Details on transportation etc. will be given once I hear from those that would be available to deploy.
DEPLOYMENT DATES:
* February 8 – 23
* Depart for California – Saturday, February 8
* Depart for Home – Saturday, February 22
(Those deploying for one week will have to provide own transportation)
Please email me or text with your availability as soon as possible!
