COAST GUARD DELIVERS DISASTER RESPONSE EQUIPMENT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Crews from Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento are currently delivering thousands of pounds of disaster response gear to the victims of the Southern California wildfires.
 
Crews began flying at 1 a.m. carrying more than 20,000 pounds of blankets and portable beds to the San Diego area in a joint mission with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Unit crews will continue to fly these humanitarian missions until the wildfire threat has been resolved. 

The United States Coast Guard, Coast Guard Air Station Sacramento and all of our sister agencies within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are always ready to assist our citizens on land or sea.

All media personnel are invited to contact Lt. j.g. Randall Black for all media and photo inquiries.
