U.S. Military Assists in Hurricane Recovery

Military Responds to Weather Emegency
My walkabout yesterday took me past Northampton County's Emergency Management Services, located next to Gracedale in Upper Nazareth. I was surprised to see Humvees going in and out of the place, and talked to three soldiers (Two Air Force, one Army).

They told me they were assisting in "situational awareness." Because communications between Emergency Management and the local municipalities was out at numerous locations, they were driving back and forth to determine needs and pass it along.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
