Title: Hurricane Florence
Post by: beachdoc on September 21, 2018, 12:51:54 AM
Following is the body of an email sent by NC WG PAO I thought it would be of interest:

NCWG,

We have never seen the likes of the media coverage that the NCWG is getting for our Hurricane Florence work! 

Great job everyone and thank you!!

Everything I have seen so far has been very positive, and everyone looks like they are
doing appropriate tasks, etc.

To be fair, there's been a >lot< of recycled releases and media (for example, I saw the same baby
with headphones on from about 5 different angles on various news sites), but whatever, always nice
to see good press and good will, on top of actually doing meaningful work.

I was in GA, SC, and NC the past 10 days for disaster response.
Saw CAP in several venues.
Only have positive things to say.
CAP is doing good stuff out there, for sure.
