Chapter 90

0800 Wolverine Command Center Robert

In reply to Yoyo’s call of Commanding officer on deck. As you were. We have acquired another mission Flash Igloo. The Governor of New York has asked POTUS for a disaster declaration and He has granted it.

FEMA has a Disaster Operation Director here in Albany and I have sent a Bradley team to his home to bring him here as directed by the Director of FEMA. His ETA was Five minutes ago. Harvey, find out where he is. He will be the Command Authority and we will support Flash Igloo as he directs us. We, with a few exceptions, will make up his staff and if you see a problem in his operation plan. Please bring it to your superior’s attention with a solution and allow them to pass it up the chain for actions. You may refuse an order that you feel is to dangerous but prepare to have an alternative operation method.

Lt Col Harvey handed me a message that the FEMA Operation Director has just entered tunnel Two and will be escorted here as quickly as possible. Not a minute later a Man in one of our Orange winter coats entered the room. He had with him a woman and Three children escorted by a security team. One of Naomie’s’ people trying to explain why the ankle tag was required for all minors on Wolverine Field, Wappinger Nation. Taking off his coat and helping his wife with a little one he then turned to us at the command table.

We do require all minors to have a GPS monitor ankle bracelet on them, no exceptions.

Carl Jeffers

I am sorry for not allowing your people to affix the ankle bracelet earlier. I assume that you can track and find any child that needs locating or goes missing? I like that idea, turning to Naomie’s assistant and saying please finish your work as it will protect my children well, we are here.

I turned to MGen Robert Hayowentha Pierce, Sir may I address you as Robert, He replied yes, I added you may address me as Carl. Robert, where will I and my family be staying during this operation?

Robert

K can you ask Consuela to come and put them in a guest Suite and the children in the Nursery. I turned to Carl and Terissa and said we have a Nursery run by our Nanny and her trained staff that watch our children Twenty-Four/Seven. It would save disruption in our house if you placed your Three there. Your Son Carl will join my grandson the Third with Tim’s and Consuela’s Jr there. Your girls would join Tim’s and Consuela’s Isabella. It is not a holding place but a Secure, Teaching and Education area for our children and we make a point to spend time with our children throughout each day, try it.

Consuela entered and K introduced her to Carl, Terissa, and the children. Consuela then led Terissa and the children away and said we will meet you at lunch as she walked away.

Carl, you noticed multiple Shirt/Coat Colors on the people who are working at this facility. They are to help separate the Duty Responsibilities of people from a distance.

And I listed the colors and duties assigned to each. The Brown shirts for Outside Agencies with the Agency Alphabet Code on them. Orange shirts for Level I, II Supervisors and Senior Employees who are equivalent to Col and LtCol in rank and all will have a radio operator with them in white with and Orange stripe for communication and location purposes. These Level I, II Supervisors and Senior Employees have the authority to make any decision in any area that needs an immediate decision. We have posted charts around for people to see and help run Operation Flash Igloo more efficiently. I would request that your people wear Brown Shirts/Coats with FEMA on them. We will provide them to your people to include Artic Gear for working outside.

My people will now present what we have currently planned for your information and your ideas on improvements. We will start with BGen Carter 3rd Calvary our maneuver troop commander.

BGen Carter

We have counting what Equipment Wolverine Field has, Sixty-Four Bradlees, Sixteen M88A2 Hercules Retrievers, and Sixteen M1150 ABV (Assault Breacher Vehicle) vehicles. We will have sent out in the last half hour Sixteen, Two vehicle teams with an Officer an SNCO in command. They have gone to the sights the State Police have directed us to. They are now in the process of rescuing people. The teams not sent to a direct sight are going down the Interstates, checking stuck vehicles, and marking the ones found empty. They will mark vehicles that have deceased victims as identified by the assigned medical personnel and mark them with GPS for later recovery.

If they recover critical victims, they will return straight to ours or the nearest operating Medical Center. Non-Critical will be collected and on having a full vehicle return to our base or the nearest shelter excepting people.

We will use Hercules to clear a path for our Tactical Firefighting Equipment which will only be released on command level authority based on location of the fire, the risk the fire may cause, and people involved in the path of the fire.
