Dear Sir;
The Explorers of South Bay haveyeen active in a program of '
1wergency Service for many years~ We are now moving into
a new area, that of a Disaster Squad. We.have enclosed a
copy of our general plan so you ~ill know the basic back-
ground of the Disaster Squad.
The Explorers are always willing to help in time of crisis
but often times they don't know what to do or where to go.
With this program we would eliminate this problem. In this
way they vll11 knovl \~hat to do and \~hen to do it. The Explorers
will be able to relieve valuable personnel that might be
needed someplace else.
.
. "Not everyone \'Iillbe able to enter this squad. We have a set
,of requirements drawn up by. the Explorers themselves. The
'... requirements are as folloi1s:
1. Between 14 and 21 years of age
2. Have good physical and psych-
ological stamina

From the Office of the President
re; Upd9te of Gener~lwor~ing Plan
Sou th Bay Di saster Squ8.d
The Squad will be equipped and trained to hqndle any of the
major types of disasters that miF,ht strike San Diego County,
these being: flood, both wild 'and structure fires, major car
accidents and explosions. Th~-Squad will also be equipped to
react in a nuclear att3ck or disaster.
Training for the Squad will be in the following areas: flood
control in both the city and in mountainous terrain, fire
fighting with em~sis on wild fir~s in ourouw back. country,
car accidents tha; might occur on our high~lBYs and freeways in
the same proportion as the 71 car pile-up in the Fall of 1969
in North California, and panic controi though we all know the
best W8Y not to create panic is to keep a cool head. Radio
communication vlill be one of our major areas of concentration
as this would be one of our first take overs in order to relieve
valuable personnel to work on the fronyline activities. First
Aid will also be another area of deep involvement as it is our
wish that every Squad member hold B Standard First Aid card.
This would en~ble them to man and operate one of the Civil
. Defense Mobile Hospitals that would be set up around the county.

We will also train in traffic control which, if this plan had
been in effect during the major fires of September and October
of last year, the Explorers could have been utilized most
effectively. Search and rescue in our county has always been
a majo~ problem and or Sheriffs Department is-one of the best
in the country. But within. this program we hope that our
Explorers can be of great assistance.
In our traininF; He have approached many emergency organizations.
Training would be given to the Explorers from the Chula Vista
Police and Fire Dep~rtments, the California Division of Forestry,
the California Disaster Office, the Civil Defense, and the
United States Navy.
This Squad will be used when called upon by anyone who Asks
for its services.
Transportation to the stricken area Hill be either by a Post
bus or as it stands now, by indivdual car.
