Four members of VDC, including three members of the board, were present for @LCNM_Patriot's "Commo Camp" course in El Rito, NM this past weekend.
Commo Camp is a course in radio communications geared specifically toward disaster preparedness.
It covers basic radio theory, operating procedures, communications security, developing communications plans, radio monitoring for intel / news gathering and the various licensed and unlicensed radio services available for use.
VDC provided our @jackeryinc Explorer 5000 Plus power system for use during the course. The system kept the refrigerators and freezers operating for the duration of the 4-day course as well as all of the radio equipment, portable radio chargers and computers.

RIP Patriotic Kenny
You were an inspiration to so many and brought so much awareness to veteran causes. You've touched more hearts than you can possibly know. We have no doubt that the Patriotic Kenny Foundation will live on and continue to impact the lives of disabled veterans.

We are keeping an eye on the wildfire situation in Capitan New Mexico that started this morning from the crash of a Trans Aero Medevac aircraft.
A statement to the press stated that no patient was on board at the time of the crash.
Our condolences go out to the coworkers and families of the staff lost in this tragic event.

And do NOT attempt to stop under bridges and overpasses to shield your vehicle from hail damage.
It could get other travelers, stuck in stand still traffic behind you, killed by a tornado.
All TV programming has been preempted in DFW for the tornadoes, hail, and flooding heading this way. If at work, go home now and stay indoors by 5 PM.

In addition to the Enid OK tornado relief and Georgia wildfires VDC is also keeping a watchful eye on the brushfire that broke out last night in Espanola, NM near Riverside Drive.
Currently there are approximately 100 acres involved and evacuations have been ordered. Only one residence has been lost so far, and we hope that number stays low.
Wildland fire crews from San Juan, Santa Fe, Los Alamos and Rio Arriba counties are currently working the fire as well as units from the Bureau of Indian Affairs and Santa Clara Pueblo.
They are being assisted today with bucket drops by Roswell Police Department's RPD Air 1 helicopter.
Shelters are open for evacuees at:
La Mesilla/San Pedro Community Center (30 Co Rd 8)
Carlos Vigil Middle School (120 Industrial Park Rd)
At this time we are hopeful that they will get the fire at least partially contained today. Higher winds are forecast for tomorrow which will hamper firefighting efforts.

Update: Officials have put out a statement saying that the initial size of the fire was overestimated. The fire is now listed as having burned 50 acres with 4 structures lost.
Evacuation orders have been lifted, but shelters remain open.
As of last night the fire is 40% contained.

Some information about yesterday's tornado which hit Enid Oklahoma and Vance AFB.
As of 0730 this morning all Vance AFB personnel have been accounted for and there are no reported injuries.
Vance AFB remains closed with only essential personnel being asked to report for duty. Efforts are underway to assess damage as well as restore power and water service to the base.
At least 10 injuries have been reported in Enid, but no fatalities so far. At least 40 homes have sustained moderate to severe damage as well as some barns in Blackwell and Braman.
The Red Cross has a shelter open at Chisolm Trail Expo Center located at 111 W Purdue Ave in Enid.
We have reached out to OEM as well as Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief to offer any assistance we might be able to provide.
Those affected by the tornado are welcome to reach out to us directly via DM if they have unmet needs and we will do everything we can to fulfill them.
Those wishing to donate to the relief efforts can do so through Oklahoma Baptist Disaster Relief at okdisasterhelp.org
Edited: Our previous post mentioned the tornado's possible classification on the enhanced fujita scale which has not yet been released by the NWS. That's on us. As editing wasn't possible we've removed the existing post and reposting this in it's place.

I had someone in a group chat comment on the fact that this is the second time we've suggested making donations to another organization, so I thought I would add some additional clarification.
Although we greatly appreciate those who do donate to us, we will never solicit or accept donations for a specific disaster unless we are actively involved in its response.
For disasters we are not involved in we will always provide information on vetted and legitimate organizations who are actively assisting victims.
We have seen, too many times, solicitations by large national disaster groups that end up getting spent outside of the disaster area or thrown into their general fund to support executive salaries. We're not those people.

Since I was asked, here's what we know so far.
The two fires that are most concerning are the HWY 82 fire in Atkinson GA which is a small town about 20mi west of Brunswick and the Pineland Rd fire which is west of the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge.
There are an estimated 30,478 acres involved in the Pineland Rd fire with 12 homes or structures lost. It is 10% contained with 99 firefighters and 4 engines assigned to the fire.
The HWY 82 fire has more resources assigned because there are more homes and businesses at risk (1508 estimated at risk). It involves approximately 4,450 acres, is 15% contained and 71 homes or structures have been lost. There are 230 crew, 58 engines and 1 fixed wing air asset currently assigned.
At this time the following roads are closed:
Waynesville Road to Hwy 110
Waynesville Road to Hwy 259
110 W. to Happy Hollow
Hwy 82 from the intersection of 301 in Nahunta to Browntown Road
There are shelters open at:
Brantley County Library (14046 E Cleveland St, Nahunta, GA 31553)
Methodist Church (107 E Cleveland St, Nahunta, GA 31553)
Hortense Church of God of Prophecy — (6756 Highway 32 E, Hortense)
Evacuation Relief Station — Nahunta First Baptist (112 Florida St, Nahunta, GA 31553)
The local emergency management agency and sheriff's department are stating that no donations for responders are currently being accepted. They have had an outpouring of support and aren't able to inventory and store additional donations.
Those wishing to to support the families affected are being asked to donate via organizations listed with Georgia VOAD (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster).
Physical donations of non-perishable food, toiletries, clothing, baby supplies, bedding (only in clean good condition) are being accepted by the nearby city of Hoboken. Those with questions or wishing to arrange a donation can contact the city of Hoboken at 912-458-2171
To clarify: Veterans Disaster Corps does not have sufficient volunteers in FEMA Region 4 to offer assistance at this time and as such will not be accepting donations for the wildfire relief effort. People should give to those who are responding and assisting with this fire.
If this changes and there is anything we can do to offer assistance, we will post an update. If there are any questions that we can answer, we will gladly do so.
If there are specific requests made of VDC we will do everything we can to fulfill them.

BTW... If the donations to @Vets_Disaster's general fund reach $4000 by the end of the month, I'll personally pay for a special gift to be sent to a random donor. That's only $264 needed per day for the next ten days.
