Update on members who were in the path of Hurricane Katrina

Nighthawk:

I was a "Senior" NCO (Non Commissioned Officer), I was a Senior Instructor of NBC, and work as the Staff Specialist on NBC for a Brigadier General. I know a lot more than what you might find in some out of date Army Manuel.

Again, I offer my expertise to anyone that has questions and concerns.

Special concern for folks in the affect area is decontaminating items, so you do not become contaminated and become ill.

Well all, this storm has hit a little too close to home in more ways than one. You see I grew up in Houma, La. It is approximately 40 miles to the SW of New Orleans. Most of my family live in that area as well.

I am safe in Louisville, Ky; and I spent too many hours waiting to hear from anyone. I am lucky though. I only had to wait about 20 hours to hear from my father. He informed me that everyone is doing well.

Only thing is, I am not sure how to feel right now. I am overjoyed that my family is safe, but at the same time I feel sad for all of those that don't have my luck as I have been blessed with in this.

I guess all I can say is that I will continue to pray for all of those that have loved ones that are being affected by Katrina.


With My Prayers,
Reggie

Woohoo. Gotta love technology. Found some NOAA aerial photos of Biloxi, terraserver-ed my sister's address, compared it to the overheads, zoomed in a bit, and found her apartment complex still standing. Daughter #3 identified the building and even that the car is still in the parking lot.

Parnelli,

Help me out, please. NBC = ?

If I had to guess, I'd say Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical but, then again, I read a lot of Tom Clancy.

Yes NBC is the acronym for Nuclear, Biological, Chemical. To others it stands for "No Body Cares!" I was trained to save lives, after "the brown stuff hits the fan?"

Hurrican Katrina was not N, B, or C. but it has all the same effect (or the aftermath will) of N, B, or C.

I have spent a large portion of my life, working at planning for the day after dooms day, and recovering and saving as much resources and people as possible.

Usually started the day with a hot cup of coffee plotting the the new upper wind data reports to create downwind plots of contamination from nuclear, biological, chemical attacks (also works for industrial accidents).

People, equipment and supplies needed to decontaminate people, vehicles, and equipment. Set Triage points for detection before injured personnel, are allowed near medical facilities.

Keep charts on radiation exposure, and radiological decay estimates for contaminated areas, and re plot everything as needed when there is a major wind shift or temperature change.

To all of you on the path of the huricane, I wish you the very best.

To all of you that were not directly hit. I know how hard it is to see your country hurt so bad.

You are all in our prayers.
