FEMA just put a call into my county manager and requested 100 more ambulances to deploy immediately to NJ.

No! Hold off till friday! Lol I wanna go!

go to amr.net, then click DRT up near the top, and download the packing list. It should help a little

Thanks!

Maybe I will get a chance to go then.

Probably not. It takes a long time to get your paperwork cleared.

I thought you meant 100 more from riverside , I was thinking if they don't have enough DRT members they'd send us normal folk :rofl:

Yea, that's DRT wide. And actually if they need a hundred more trucks, I still probably will go. It'll take a while to mobilize that many more crews

 

[JDub]

Good lord! I am so jealous of you all that actually get to deploy!

Me too.

Apparently my company will not be deploying anyone because they say our system is too short staffed.

I was on standby for a few hours this afternoon, then they cancelled us.
It's the 3rd or 4th time thus far my division has put people and standby and then pulled the plug.

[Anjel]

Ya we were cancelled :-(

I think maybe you have to watch it. He comes off like a total jerk who doesn't give a rats arse. I watched one of them at work with a co-worker who is a die hard conservative (not republican, conservative) and even he said it was pretty harsh (and he likes Chris Christie).

And I think thats a typical Jersey attitude. Hewas also the one who told people to "get the hell off the beach" during Irene. It's just a mentality of our state

My swift water crew still pulled dozens out, but they get an ear full

 

[Joe]

They just mobilized la county amr unity. We sent 12 i think? With a second wave on standby

Seems like most of the units are needed in the NY area. The FOB in NJ is being relocated to Brooklyn, NY.

can I request that snow drops here rather than there?

I'd use it for good things rather than getting stuck in it.

My car was blocked in on either end of my street by fallen trees and power lines.

Couldn't make it to work obviously.

Boss tells me "That's not our fault you shouldn't have parked near trees."

Where did she expect me to park? The expressway?

Neighborhood is trashed.

Thankfully I don't live near the water. Volunteer fire and FDNY both list ambulances and fire vehicles to the flood.
