We have some handhelds, but they are solely for communicating with our Tels guys and the Incident Co-ordination Officer.
We had very little info that we could have given you. The info that you got on the radio at about 1812Z was the first that we could give you with any accuracy. It was then that we decided on what the plan was. We were a little busy trying to get all of the info together, decide whether to open the CVCR and then re-start.
What a day...
