Hi,

Just wanted to drop a note on the status of Calaveras ARES.

I have not received any more information on COVID-19 from our OES. All I can suggest is that you follow the protocols being send out by the County, State and National PIOs.

The WiRES Node in Copperopolis is down, for the time being. A new computer is needed to bring it back up. CARS has replaced the old one and I need to install the software and put it in place. Once that is done the node will be back up.

There are power failures through out the county, I am on Generator now, PGE reports that I will have power restored on 3/19 at 1900.

That is all I have for now, be safe, be well and stay warm.
