The team departed Cambridge this morning at 6:30 and headed down Interstate 77 with an escort from the Ohio State Highway Patrol to the West Virginia state line. In total, the fleet consists of HAVOC (field communications unit), 3 SUV’s, 2 pickup trucks, a fuel trailer, a radio Tower On Wheels, a generator, and a supply trailer. While on route, the team received word from Buncombe County Public Safety Communications of the need for diapers and baby formula (we cannot imagine why babies don’t like MRE’s). So, the team stopped a couple time and purchased all the diapers and formula they could find.
Ohio TERT arrived in Asheville around 7:00 and arrived at their assigned shelter facility at a school about an hour later. Personnel from Florida TERT are also there. At last report, the team was safe and establishing base camp.
