CPS Flooding TGID

[Intellgence2008]

Just heard CPS will be splitting channels and will be working on Bravo 12, for the Flooding in YYC. Check the database no Bravo 12,there is a A12 which I have the TGID and C12 ,but no Bravo 12. A 12 CPS Command Post has been busy with all the flooding areas,and EVACS of civilians.

CPS Bravo 15 Flood Incident YYC

Looking also for CPS channel TGID for Bravo 15 and any other channels being used for Calgary flooding e.g. Emergency Management, EMS, Fire etc. Thanks!!

If no one comes forward, please use ID Search to locate them. As soon as they are known, I will add them to the system.

AHS reports that the Calgary 911 system and Police, EMS and Fire Comms are down. Looking at relocating the center elsewhere.

 

[harryshute]

This info was relayed to the Provincial Ops Center (P.O.C.) in Edmonton by Alberta Health in Calgary.

 

[harryshute]

Try 15472 for B12 EMS standby and 15504 for B15 CPS Standby. This from an old list.

Try 15472 for B12 EMS standby and 15504 for B15 CPS Standby. This from an old list.

Hope someone can confirm as we already have 15472 listed as E12 TriServ 2 and 15504 as E15 TriServ 5.

Thanks for the suggestion all the same.

In the database it says Police and EMS radios remain analog Bravo channels. On some fire radios they are Echo channels. A bit of a problem when you have different radios operating on different designated talk groups. In any event if you have them all in your scanner you should hear the action.

Hi folks,
Since this thread is about the flooding I thought I'd post here rather than in 15 different threads.

I'm OK; I was dispatched early on Thursday with RMES and 101 to flooding in Bragg Creek. The situation escalated rapidly from that point and I have been working solid ever since. I was back to my house briefly on Thursday morning and late Friday for about 5 minutes apiece, but otherwise I've been cut off because of concerns about the structural stability of the bridge over the Elbow on Balsam Avenue. I've slept 2 nights in the local school, one in a chair and one on some mats in the gymnasium.

My internet provider's broadcast site (it's a fixed wireless system) was obliterated by the floods. There's a backup system running but it's low power and for emergency use only, so all my connections at the house are offline. This includes the VE6SRT APRS gateway, my PlanePlotter connection, and my monitoring of AFRRCS buildouts (which are probably suspended anyway).

At Redwood Meadows, power and internet are on, but we had left the fire station rapidly the other night when the river berm threatened to breach and wipe out the town (and I'm not exaggerating - we were within an hour of that happening). We took everything that wasn't bolted down in the hall, and some things that were bolted down, and evacuated wholly. So the VE6RWM-1 APRS digi is down as well as the PP setup at that site too. The computer that runs our live audio feed is in a different part of the building, and is functioning normally, so you should be able to hear us on Broadcastify.

The odds are low that I'll be getting back home in the next day or two, and even if I did, I'm supposed to go back on my PSC work cycle Sunday morning - whether or not that happens is still up in the air. So for the time being, my two PP setups, two APRS setups, and other stuff mentioned above is offline, and I won't be participating in the various threads relating to those activities - I stole enough time to type this up, and I have to go back to work in the command post.

Everyone stay safe and dry and support your local emergency response - don't get out in their way.

First I want to say thanks to you and your colleagues. My sister and brother in law live in West Bragg, next subdivision down from yours, and I know they appreciate your service. From the pictures they have emailed, the damage out there is severe.

Stay safe.

And while we are at giving thanks let`s also thank those non first responders, who were in fact first responders here, like RNs, LPNs, other health care workers not associated with EMS, shelter volunteers, Hutterites, Salvation Army, Red Cross, Amateur Radio operators, farmers who brought in equipment, and a lot of other unsung heroes that I have missed who dropped everything to help where they could in the first few hours.

 

[smason]

Anyone else hearing CEMA comms on 47.000?

 

[maplebear]

It sounds like the military using 47.0000 .

 

[harryshute]

A large convoy will be leaving for Calgary from South Edmonton today at 2:30. It includes fire rigs with double crews, ETS buses and EPCOR (water and power) units. They are currently staging at the Ferrier ETS garage.

 

[Jay911]

Sorry for the delay in returning the feed to live status. Last night there was a massive power outage related to a substation failure in Banff, and the Broadcastify feed doesn't auto-start properly. We've since moved back into the firehall from Banded Peak School, and I've just now got the computers up and running.

 

[robertmac]

And the problem today is coming from volunteers wanting help clean up peoples housing problems. Areas are being over run with cars being parked anywhere there is a spot. Thus keeping larger vehicles from getting in to areas. City may have to institute parking lots off site and bus in people, similar to McMahon Stadium yesterday. As a more stupid side note, I think it was Saturday night, someone had Calgary Digital Radios on Rural Dispatch and Special Events and the topics and language were not pretty. I know City Dispatch requested they cease and I hope they find who was doing this as it certainly wasn't necessary. Made it sound more like Crappy Band or Trucker frequencies. Fortunately, this crap did not last long. But very unprofessional from whomever was doing it.

 

[HDMechanic]

As for flood talk groups. I found Edmonton fire are using rental radios from TAC Solutions Motorola system. Sorry cant remember the exact tg but was in the 9800 area. Sounded to me like CFD dispatch has one of the radios for check ins and exetra.

 

[robertmac]

Interesting. Haven't really listened to TAC recently as gone digital. And on the HP, just monitor Calgary Digital. I haven't updated HP recently, but one display shows SPECIAL and SWAT on 34384 which seems to be one of the EOC. I am sure some are using FRS radios as well.

And with the rail bridge collapse and threatening to dump a few oil tankers into the Bow, and all the other fire problems, they ran out of channels for fire and had to start splitting. Most roads in the east and south were grid locked because of road blocks.
