BBP and flying sams step up!!


this just in off the BBP hi-speed travel/info wire:

Red Cross Requests Assistance for Mulege. - 9/5/2006


The Red Cross today indicates that things are critical in Mulege and the town needs help.



They have requested the BBP?s help to ferry water and food into Mulege. They are contacting the state of Sonora?s Red Cross and are trying to stage supplies in either Guaymas or Hermosillo so that it is a short flight into either El Gallito or Palo Verde.



BBP admin will be posting and alerting again as information is firmed up.



Please call or e-mail if you can be of assistance, what type of aircraft you have, and when you can leave. We are requesting from Mexico City that all landing fees be waived during this airlift. Guyamas cannot waive these fees locally as the emergency is not in Sonora.



480 730 3250

Addditionally:



BBP is in contact with Diana Johnson who is in Mulege. She indicates that there have been no relief supplies as of today, that her dad (Don) who is in TJ is sending water tomorrow via truck.



The critical needs are liquids and canned food, clothing is secondary.



We have about 8 aircraft who have indicated they can ferry supplies into Mulege.



If the Red Cross has not firmed up the supplies by 1:00 today, BBP staff will purchase water in Phoenix and go on down.



the Phoenix Flying Sams indicates they will have five aircraft in Guaymas on Friday and they can also ferry supplies.



About half of the rooms on the river side of the Serenidad were flooded included the four houses in the back. The strip, at this time is washed out on the north end. People are out there trying to fill in the hole by hand so that it can be used.



Water was up to the steps of Don Johnson?s house downtown, most of the shops around the square were flooded.



And, they are requesting that there be no tourists. It is more important to have another 20 gallons of water than another person to use up needed resources.
