From: National Commodore 

To: Members of USCG Auxiliary 

Subj: Hurricane Gustav 

As we watch the progress of hurricane Gustav across the gulf, we are
reminded of the devastation from hurricane Katrina only a few years ago.
There were many lessons learned from hurricane Katrina by the Auxiliary. One
of the first was that as auxiliarists our primary role is not as a first
responder but rather to be ready to assist our local Coast Guard units
should they need us to fill in when active duty personnel and assets are
deployed to the disaster area. 

Our training and abilities as Coast Guard Auxiliarists are excellent and our
role is always to take direction from the Coast Guard. We are there to do
what they need when they need it. If they have specific needs that we can
fill, they will direct that request to your District Commodore. 

While our thought and prayers remain with the people that will be affected
by this storm we also need to review our own readiness during times of
disaster. I urge all auxiliarists to take this opportunity to review your
local disaster plans within your flotillas, divisions and districts. Your
District Commodore and Auxiliary Sector Coordinator will be in close contact
with the Sectors in your area to ensure that if the Coast Guard has a need
for auxiliary personnel and resources that appropriate actions will be
taken. 

I thank each of your for your service and dedication; the work that you do
as auxiliarists makes a world of difference to the Coast Guard and America's
boaters. Please keep prepared, aware and safe . 

Semper Paratus 

Steven M. Budar 

National Commodore
