Jacmal Airport Aid Station - update

  • Incident Incident
  • Nearby Incident Nearby Incident

Incident Report Description

We have nine firefighter/paramedics and a pediatrician en route from FXE to JAK or already landed, depending on traffic. Hundreds of pounds of supplies, lots of IV fluids and kits. No organic security, no organic translation -- all speak primarily American English.

Planned mission profile is shifting, we are evaluating places up to several miles from the airfield to establish the aid station.

We will consider taking patient pickup, collapsed structure, etc missions if security and ops planning visibility are acceptable.

This will be my last update until things settle down unless I get some kind of response from you guys.

I speak French at an intermediate level and may be able to find Creole speakers, if telephone interpreting via the U.S. could be of any use to you.

My guys found the airhead well established, secure and efficient. They accepted assignment to helicopter-born day missions to Leogane beginning AM 20 JAN, bringing food and medical supplies.
