Phones and Internet were knocked out at approx. 2:30pm. Area most affected was the city of Plattsburg and areas immediately surrounding Plattsburg.Request for possible assistance with relays of emergency traffic was received from the EMD in Cameron, MO at 4:00pm. KC0YEJ started calling members of the group in the surrounding communities to be on standby and to monitor the Plattsburg repeater for any assignments. YEJ also made general calls on the repeater. 5 members of the NWMO ARES® Group were standing by to assist if needed. At 9:30pm phones and internet were back on and the members were released from standby operations.

This type of call out was interesting due to the fact that no phones or internet were available to over half of the group. KC0YEJ did a great job of finding operators outside of the affected area. The area was relatively small but affected the Clinton County Dispatch center and 911 calls. All Sheriff's traffic was being handled thru the city of Cameron PD. No traffic was handled by the NWMO ARES® Group.

Total man hours: 5 x 7hrs = 35 man hours
