Urgent: 04/26/2010, 1025 hours
To: All Members
From: Mike Farrell
We are blessed with several members who are very active in the volunteer
areas of our County. In an effort to poll our members who have DCS as
their priority for response, we need to make sure who we can call as first
responders in an emergency and will respond to DCS as the their first
choice. This will greatly enhance and speed up the process in making
contacts. A new unit ID will be assigned to those who have first responder
commitments to other organizations other than DCS. These new numbers
will begin with M-6xx. Those whose choice is other than DCS must
indicate to me ASAP. I MUST HAVE THIS INFORMATION ASAP!
