Cooling Shelter Response
On July 22nd 2010 the NWMO ARES® Group received a call from the City of Cameron EMD requesting assistance to man a Cooling Shelter at 315 E. 3rd St. in Cameron, MO. NJ0Z called down the list of members to see who would be available. Those who responded that could assist were: KC0QLU, NJ0Z, KC0YEJ, KD0EEV, W0AFS. Communications were being conducted through Public Safety frequencies for the event however we did use the Plattsburg and Osborn repeaters to coordinate our response within the group. EMD Corey Sloan requested that we work in 2 hour shifts. On Thursday night the shelter ran from 1pm until 7:30pm and on Friday the shelter was open from 1pm until 5pm. Total man hours for the event was 13. Our members were able to cover all shifts necessary for this response.
