WATERWAY WARNING AERIAL SUPPORT
The NC State Highway Patrol, Special Operation/Aviation Unit will provide personnel and rotary wing aircraft (if available and weather permitting) to identify boaters, campers, picnickers and bank fisherman along Jordan, Harris lakes, the Cape Fear, Deep and Haw Rivers.
SHP personnel assigned to the Aerial Support activity will follow guidelines in SOG Para III prior to departure for route surveillance. The assigned helicopter will depart the SHP Aviation Unit hanger facility and fly the following route using the attached GPS way- points:
1. Harris Lake 2. Harnett County Boat Ramp and Cape Fear River (Lower Cape Fear area) 3. Chatham/Lee County Cape Fear River (Upper Cape Fear area) 4. Deep River 5. Haw River 6. Jordan Lake
Following this route starts close in to the HNP and works out from that point. At locations along this route where individuals are identified, the helicopter will pause and broadcast the following message using the loud hailer system:
"ATTENTION. AN EMERGENCY SITUATION HAS DEVELOPED IN THIS AREA THAT CAN AFFECT YOUR SAFETY. PLEASE LEAVE THE RIVER / LAKE AREA AT ONCE AND TUNE YOUR VEHICLE RADIO TO AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST STATION FOR FURTHER INFORMATION".
This route will be flown again (minimum of twice) to insure individuals notified are taking appropriate action to leave the area and identify boats or individuals that may have been missed by boat patrols.
Assigned helicopters will maintain radio contact with C&C Team using Primary communication channels to advise marine and ground resources of locations of identified individuals needing further contact. If required, communication between aviation, can be achieved using common radio mutual aid talkgroups.
Upon completion or termination of aerial support, helicopters return to the SHP hanger facility (primary) or report to the Sanford Lee Regional Airport (secondary) for monitoring and decontamination (if necessary).
State aviation assets will be coordinated by the SERT, unless tasked to Wake County for a special assignment.
