Wanted: Volunteer Disaster help from TAMOR

[8Runner]

I mentioned to the CS police chief tonight that I had a tall vehicle if they need any help getting to difficult/flooded areas over the weekend. Much to my surprise, he was actually pretty interested in this and we got on the topic of TAMOR and how we could help as a group. Anyway, I would like to compile a list people that would be willing to help and have the experience and vehicle capable of doing so. Likely this would be for things like transporting police or EMS to hard to reach areas, perhaps evacuating people from flooded homes. Although they asked me to be the primary point of contact, I will be forwarding this list to the appropriate folks with the cities of CS & Bryan to contact you directly if I am unreachable. If you are interested, please post the following info here ASAP as I will be sending this over to the appropriate folks by tomorrow evening:

Name
Vehicle Discription (Color, Model, License Plate #)
Approximate Maximum Water Fording depth
Do you have a CB?
Phone number + Alternate if you have one (i.e. Cell & home)
Emergency Contact NAme & number (preferably outside B/CS area)
Local Address
email (in case phones are down)


I think this would be a great way for our group to give something back to the community and is a one of the few ways we can use our hobby to the benefit of others. Regardless if whether we end up getting to help out (and honestly I hope we don't), it would be a nice gesture. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me offline via phone or email.

If i'm here I can assist but I have no vehicle here to help with... How ever I'm probably 99% better than most of the public in dealing with vehicles, water, etc...

I might be able to scrounge up some spare CB's

Wow, way to step up guys. Keep 'em coming, - I'll put together a list tomorrow.

Doug, let me know if you find a few CB's. Not sure how critical that wil be, but if cell coverage is dead, it may be the only way to stay in touch unless someone with a radio is riding with the driver.

Hey guys, I know it's a pain, but do try and give me a decent read on the water depth you are comfortable with. I will put the most capable trucks at the top of the list - and this isn't something to play around with so don't inflate your numbers just to get a higher ranking. For me, my lowest point used to be the computer, now it's the air intake, I am going to roughly measure it this afternoon with a tape measure, but I think it's around 4 or 4.5 feet. So, crack out a tape measure and edit your posts if you are not sure. Maybe I am being anal and I hope none of this even matters, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I'm not sure i'd go higher than the exhaust manifolds... you have all the distributor crap up on top which is most likely not waterproof

For me, the distributor is at about the same height as the air intake, and is further back so a little less vulnerable, and is still over 4' off the ground. I doubt we'll get into water that high anyway.
