INCIDENTS

Canaveral NS

Tropical Storm Ophelia

The park's incident management team met yesterday morning to discuss plans and actions for approaching Tropical Storm Ophelia. Hurricane Condition IV was set, boat ramps at three locations were closed, the radio communications and medical contact plans were updated, the list of employee locations and phone numbers was updated, and a post-hurricane contact list was disseminated to all employees. The team will meet again this morning to review the latest storm information and modify the park's preparedness level if needed. [Bruce W. Rosel, Maintenance Mechanic Foreman]
