South Dakota Wing’s Blizzard-Related
Mission Generates 50-plus Stories
SUMMARY OVERVIEW
A Civil Air Patrol mission in South Dakota required wing aircrews to fly, first in search of hunters stranded by a rare October blizzard, then to help the South Dakota Department of Agriculture calculate the loss of livestock, which is critical to the state’s wealth. To date, more than 50 media outlets have picked up the wing’s news releases, including CNN.com and The Progressive Farmer magazine. http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/10/us/south-dakota-blizzard-kills-herds- cattle/index.html?iref=allsearch (Oct. 10) http://www.dtnprogressivefarmer.com/dtnag/common/link.do;jsessionid=9BFD4B775A9CFFCB E22877A94BBC9355.agfreejvm1?paneContentId=2001&paneParentId=70104&popular=true&p roduct=_POPULAR_CONTENT_%7cMOSTCLICKED&symbolicName=%2ffree%2fnews%2ftem plate2&vendorReference=cdc37f49-a12b-4710-8d92-f41326abfc58__1381145592719 (Oct. 8)
