Yesterday the US provided 270 gallons of diesel, and the Dominican Republic provided 100 gallons of diesel. Including battery, the Xchange Boutilliers is fuel secure through Friday.

There are significant US naval and land assets in place.

However, resupply to the NAP/microwave backhaul out of the FERA (Front
Edge Rescue Area, to delta off the usual FEBA acronym) and local
government data communications continuity apparently aren't on the first
day task order, nor any subsequent day's task order.

Drill. Drill Now. Drill Baby Drill. Palin may be insane, but skipping on
emergency procedures and drills, which at least one government has done,
is not sane. (Doing something twice, e.g., failure to prepare for
Katrina class events, and expecting a different outcome measure of sanity.)

Isn't there a US destroyer taskforce off the coast now? One would
think they'd have a supply of diesel available.

As of this hour Reynold Guerrier has managed to obtain 56 gallons of
diesel, moving the NAP's dry tank fail point some 8 hours, into the
morning of the 18th.

No other fuel has been delivered to the NAP. The SitRep of the 16th to
the State Department has just been updated with information current as
of this hour.

At around noon, Eastern, the State Department was provided with
information on the fuel situation at the Port au Prince NAP, which has
used 2/3rds of the available diesel (8gal/hour run rate, 160 gal
remaining) keeping the microwave backhaul to the DR up, and all
remaining governmental and NGO network access.

Guys

The buggest issues in the 2 coming days will be energy. And I can't
assure that we will be able to get fuel for the generator. Equipment
with Solar energy will be our best shot.

Folks,

After the Katrina landfall a diverse group of wireless people
started organizing a relief effort, culminating in work around
Waveland. There was also a group from the NPGS in Monterey, who
worked on the Boxing Day Tsunami aftermath.

Does anyone have a similar contact set?

Eric
