Flotilla 10-08 Membership Information
WHAT CAN I DO?
After 9-11, many of us asked, how can we help? Now,
more than ever, the Coast Guard and the volunteers of the Coast Guard Auxiliary,
need your assistance.
The following will be of great aid:
1. Be aware of your surroundings and
report any suspicious or unusual
activities to the Coast Guard on VHF
Channel 16 or 9, or by calling
(718) 993-0950.
2. Have everyone on your boat wear a
life jacket (PFD) to show their support
for the Team Coast Guard men and
women on patrol.
3. File a Float Plan to let your loved
ones know when to expect your return
and what to do in case of emergency.
Visit the floatplancentral website, a
service of the U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary, to download and fill out a
Float Plan.
4. Consider joining the Coast Guard
Auxiliary and put yourself, and your
boat, to work in support of the Coast
Guard!
