Flotilla 4 Members Deploying For Flood Response

Today orders were issued for three members of Flotilla 4 to deploy to North Dakota and Minnesota to help augment the Coast Guard at Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). Trevor Henderson is deploying to North Dakota. Jeff Towle and Nick Critelli are deploying to Minnesota.

They will help augment Coast Guard personnel who will liaison with local and state officials to help with the response to the flooding in these areas. These individuals were called upon because of their experience in helping to provide a similar function during the Iowa Floods of 2008.
