COVID Restrictions Update Auxiliary Reconstitution ✓ Communication from Captain Floyd: Memo dated 24 July 2020. Effective 01 August 2020. • All personnel must closely review the subject memorandum and adhere to all guidelines contained therein. • KEY POINT from Paragraph 3 from Floyd memo: “We will continue to implement measures allowing the gradual incorporation of more Auxiliary personnel in training and operations.” • All requests and actions go to Station Oswego through Pat Carpenter. Auxiliarists are reminded they must go through their Flotilla Chain of Leadership and Management (i.e. FC and VFC). Station Oswego will approve or disapprove mission requests if, in their judgement, the GAINS from the Mission are worth the RISKS involved. • All persons requesting orders must also fill out and submit Auxiliary COVID-19 High Risk Assessment Form (7101). NOTE: It has been determined that this form is not be shared with other Auxiliarists but must be sent directly to BM1 Miron at Station Oswego. Pat Carpenter indicated all he needs to know is for the requester to tell him “the High-Risk Assessment Form” has been submitted to Station Oswego. • More on High Risk Assessment, National Leadership indicates that age of 65 or health issues is NOT necessarily a disqualifier for Auxiliarist participation in missions provided safety and well-being of individual and other affected personnel is protected. • All mission requests must be predicated on the fact that proper PPE and social distancing will be adhered to plus all other CDC guidelines followed. Activities Prohibited. • Regular Patrols where contact with the public is possible. • Public Affairs Events and similar public events. • In person Flotilla Meetings, training, and other gatherings at Base or other locations. • In person public education activities. Activities Allowed. • Training Patrols. • Flotilla Meetings and other in-person events held via video or phone conference. • Public Education held via Video Conference. • Facility Inspections on a LIMITED basis. Facilities not expected to be underway in 2020 should not be inspected. • Vessel Safety Checks (NEW) provided that PPE, Social Distancing, and other CDC or State requirements are met. • Marina / Industry Visitations (NEW), again above safety measures must be strictly adhered to.

Coast Guard Auxiliary responds with public education and outreach. SEE PAGE 12. Gene Little National Inspirational Leader WELCOME TO BETSY’S GALLEY WINTER/SPRING 2017 Page 6 EASTWIND Page 7 PAGE 1 Message from the Commodore First, let me say it is a great honor being elected as your Commodore. The Ninth Eastern District is not the biggest district in the nation, but what we lack in size we make up for in effort. We do more in our short boating season than most do in a year-long season. I also need to thank participants in all our leader- ship and specialty training opportunities at our fall and spring D-Trains. No district can go forward without leaders and 9ER stepped up and showed that leadership training is important. We are off to a running start with new initiatives, such as the focus on paddlecraft safety at the fall and spring D-Trains as well as the crafting of strategies by our own district paddlecraft committee (DCAPT Glen Harman, OTO Chris Henderson and Gene Little of Ithaca Flotilla 02-02). Speaking of initiatives: • the Basic Qualification 2 (BQ2) is up and running. The new BQ2 course is up on the Training Directorate (T) website. New Auxiliarists are encouraged to take the seven module course. • Gap Analysis is still on the front burner. We support the Coast Guard and fill in gaps that they need.

The sheer magnitude of the devastation and destruction in New Orleans and the surrounding area remains incomprehensible to many disaster planners.

    Maritime 20 RISK OCT. 26-30,2020 OCT. UIUC Symposium 20 Welcome to the Maritime Risk Symposium 2020 The Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI), a Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence, is host of the 11th Annual Maritime Risk Symposium (MRS 2020) in collaboration with the National Academy of Sciences. The theme of MRS 2020 is “Maritime Resilience in Black Swan Events.” DHS defines resilient infrastructure systems as the “ability of systems, infrastructures, government, business, communities, and individuals to resist, tolerate, absorb, recover from, prepare for, or adapt to an adverse occurrence that causes harm, destruction, or loss of national significance.” Through presentations, panels and open forums, the symposium will focus on the attributes of resilience to adversarial events of national significance in the maritime domain, using our experience with COVID-19 as a driver for the discussion. The objective is less about the specific impacts COVID-19 had and is having, and more on how that event informs us on resiliency for future global upsets, in terms of what works, what gaps have been exposed, and what research questions ought to be studied as a first step towards enhancing Maritime Resilience. Agenda 26 All times are in Central Time.

Marie and San Diego.
