Update from Major David Miller, MOWG/PAD

All,

Updating PAO efforts on flood activities.

First media release out, sent to 8 newspapers, 6 TV stations, 7 radio stations, Associated Press, Missourinet, and St. Lous Post-Dispatch. See following link to the release posted on the Post-Dispatch's website from earlier today:

Modified version of the release published on the Wing website.

Info sent to NHQ, contact is Neil Probst of the National PAO staff. Will be doing an article in the next Volunteer on our efforts in Missouri (current issue just completed and highlights the Iowa efforts).

Just spoke with KDNL Channel 5 (St. Louis NBC Affiliate) reporter Casey Nolen who is very interested in our story, especially our reconnaissance flights.

In addition, am trying to establish contact with Tim Bryant, lead flood reporter for the Post-Dispatch to see if he'll highlight CAP activities more in his reporting.

Good to see that Lincoln County EMA mentioned us in their daily SitRep.

Finally, I'll be onsite tonight after I finish with my last patient.

I need pictures! :)

V/R,
David
