"Often times, I endure ridicule by some fellow CAP Officers (respectfully in line with our core values...of course) for pointing out that there are things in CAP that can 'kill a person' if they do not pay attention. It sounds harsh, I admit that...but safety starts with each of us having situational awareness...that most serious understanding of those issues around us that can harm. We must be aware of the possibility of getting hurt...or worse. I care deeply about all CAP member's being present, safe and uninjured. That is why I point that out." -Maj. Joe Ely Carrales, CAP
1605L Hrs: Opening Ceremonies
Safety: Be aware of 1) hydration issues, 2) the wind...those on the tower will need to insure that the tower and/or tarp does not fall on CAP personnel and 3) that all Hazards are identified and mitigated. A Hazard is something that can potentially hurt you. To Mitigate means that you do something about an issue.
