[WARC] St. Charles evacuation

[James Jarvis]

Hello Group,

There is a major fire and potential for a ammonia release in St. 
Charles. Apparently the town of St. Charles is being evacuated towards 
Lewiston.

Clare K0NY contacted the EOC asking if assistance is needed. I don't 
believe he got a request. I left a voicemail with Chris Humbolt at Red 
Cross with Clare and my contact information.

I would urge you to pack your go bag, check the charge on your radio 
batteries, and be prepared to potentially be called out. Please monitor 
the 146.64- repeater. The 146.64- repeater should be reachable from 
Lewiston with 5 watts and a handheld. It will not easily be reachable 
from St. Charles with a handheld, but will work with a mobile. Please 
remember that your HT battery life on high power will be very short.

Clare is headed to Lewiston to see if he can be assistance. I am 
currently in my office and can provide coordination where required. 
Clare's cell phone number is 450-8750 and my cell phone is 313-1015.
