All,

I met with the City of Plattsburg Police and event coordinators of the event and here is what they are needing:

Saturday 4/26
7:30a Safety/Event meeting at Perkins Park Entrance

8am – 5pm

3 operators to be at 3 parking lots to coordinate shuttle bus pickup and drop off. Locations to be assigned at meeting.
2 operators to to ride in the shuttle bus to coordinate current locations and comm’s if assistance is needed on the shuttles

Sunday 4/27

Same times/ locations/ operators

These positions will require a reflective vest and handheld radios along with ID’s.
I will be watching the weather and so far it looks OK but a lot can happen between now and Saturday so proper attire and situational awareness will be key. I would like to have the 2 operators in the shuttles to have APRS with an external antenna so we can track the locations of the buses at the mobile command post. (This is NOT a requirement but just a goal I have set) The guys at the 3 lots don’t need APRS just a handheld should be fine but if you have an external antenna that would be a plus.

I know this is short notice but hey, this is what a real event would be like. Little notice and our skills will be needed.

I won’t be able to be there on Sunday as I have a “In Memory Of” event to be at in KU Med Sunday afternoon.
Please RSVP to me ASAP so I can let the event coordinators know that we will be there.
