notes: 2010 GULF OIL SPILL May 24, 2010 There's boom broken loose off St. Bernard Parish, a possible porpoise corpse in Louisiana's Black Bay, and myriad other oil-­related incidents along the Gulf Coast as the spill that began last month reaches shore. Keeping track of it all is a mammoth task. But West Palm Beach gardener and on-call disaster expert Scott Lewis has an answer that's being used in the cleanup effort. Lewis, owner of Scott Lewis' Gardening and Trimming, and Disaster Solutions LLC, has a patent pending for software that when loaded onto cheap cellphones allows fishermen and emergency workers to easily input information about oil spill events. The phone doesn't require a cell tower, and it uses GPS so that locations can be easily pinpointed. Downloaded onto a laptop computer, the data gives spill workers current information on exactly where they need to fix oil boom lines, locate dead wildlife or investigate new oil sightings. About 100 phones are being used in Louisiana, where Lewis spent time in early May. Manatee County, on Florida's Gulf Coast, is testing the phones for use there. "The biggest problem is the fishermen are hand-writing issues, latitude and longitude, down to the minute on a sheet of paper," said Lewis, who named the phone program Pathfinders Task Force, which is a subgroup of his Eagles Wings Foundation. "They're on little boats and it's windy, it's salty, and then they bring it to a command base and someone has to enter it into a computer." Lewis came up with the idea for the phones after Hurricane Katrina when he was organizing relief efforts in Gulfport, Miss.

mission: The Eagles Wings Foundation - Who We Are and What We Do "Helping to deliver a devastated area from the emergency room to the recovery ward" The Eagles Wings Foundation, Inc., is a multi faith-based, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit, public foundation set up for aiding disaster survivors in the United States and the Caribbean region. The Board of Directors is comprised of devout people of many faiths dedicated to ensuring that all donations are used solely for the purpose of meeting the needs of disaster survivors. Eagles Wings has no paid staff or overhead. Office space is donated, and all work is done by volunteers ensuring that all donations have the greatest impact on the people we serve. After 10 years of working with many charitable groups, Eagles Wings now is a support agency with Volunteer Florida and a member of Florida VOAD (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters). Eagles Wings works under the State of Florida’s ESF-15 Officer as part of the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) Pathfinder EMAC Force package. After every disaster, there is a tremendous need for someone to coordinate the activities of the unaffiliated volunteers and charities that wish to help, so that the rescuers do not become a burden to the disaster survivors. Eagles Wings' "Pathfinders" fill this gap with its own supporting Volunteer Management Team (VMT) which includes a Pathfinder Commander, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance Section Chiefs, a medical officer, an IT specialist, a supply depot unit leader, and a military liaison officer. Sample 207 Organizational Chart of Unified Command. Team members have disaster management, law enforcement, fire-rescue, and military command experience (see a first of its kind National Response Framework of this unprecedented disaster response resource focused on homebound survivors). A unique GPS mapping software (patent pending) precisely tracks the unmet needs of survivors, and separates this unit from any other unit currently in service. -> The Eagles Wings Foundation - Who We Are and What We Do "Helping to deliver a devastated area from the emergency room to the recovery ward" The Eagles Wings Foundation, Inc., is a multi faith-based, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit, public foundation set up for aiding disaster survivors in the United States and the Caribbean region.
