Tentative plan for Gulfport

September 7th, 2005
Posted by Paul Smith

Let’s say we get the go-ahead from Gulfport to come establish comm there, we’d have to mobilize quickly. I just spent 5 minutes sketching out a tentative plan for this effort, including gear we’ll need. It’s not detailed at all, just a rough sketch to get y’all to react to.

Please review the below, and let me know what I’m glaringly missing.

As for equipment, we need this stuff and need to figure out how to get our donors to get stuff shipped asap. I think regardless whether we go to Gulfport we’re going to need this gear regardless. Also I didn’t broach the subject of iffy power. If I hear from Dave Odem tomorrow I’ll find out if these shelters have reliable 110V. If not, reboot, plan b, car batteries and such, limit the scope.

Gulfport, MS plan
