The search for Michael Ruppe, who had been missing since July 1, came to a sad end today as his body was found by rescue workers near Eagle Point in Oakdale. Pictured is Morgan County EMA Director Ethan Webb with members of several area agencies that helped with the search.

Thank you all for such a wonderful experience at the Serve Strong: First Responder Resilience Summit! It was amazing seeing Fire, EMS, Rescue Squad, and Law Enforcement professionals from across local, regional, and state agencies come together to support one another. The dedication, fellowship, and focus on resilience made this event truly impactful. Thank you to everyone who helped make it a success!

Huge thanks for coming out and sharing your expertise with the Cumberland County Rescue Squad. Getting our team trained up on radios and integrated with CalTopo is a major step forward for preparedness and response. We appreciate the support and look forward to having you back next month for the inter-agency drill and mock deployment. Excited to see what mesh comms can do for search and rescue, swiftwater, wildland fire, and disaster response.

Got em hooked into CalTopo and ready to deploy! Looks like I might head back next month for an inter-agency drill to do a mock deployment as well.

What can mesh comms do for you?
