Good afternoon,
I hope you all fared well during Hurricane Ian. We did ok here at SCSPE-HQ, but we realize others may have not.
SCSPE was put on alert Friday evening by emergency management. During the State of Emergency, engineers can volunteer to do assessments, inspections and other duties thanks to the Volunteer Engineers act we passed years ago. When the State of Emergency is called, engineering associations and professional societies are third in line (behind the State and the State Guard Engineering Detachment). Luckily, the damage must not have been too bad, as I have not heard anything since Friday night.
