Baraboo, WI - Fifty members of the Wisconsin Wing Civil Air Patrol (CAP) assisted the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Sauk County Emergency Management in flood relief efforts this past weekend.  Civil Air Patrol members were on site all day Saturday, with many members having already arrived Friday to set up.

Civil Air Patrol officers acted as crew leaders for citizen volunteers who helped with the flood clean up effort, providing logistical support to the DNR Command post, and flying photo reconnaissance missions over flooded areas.

The CAP volunteers traveled from all parts of the state to assist in the recovery efforts.

Volunteer efforts will continue to be managed by the DNR through the weekend during the recovery stage until further notice. The reporting location for the volunteer relief effort is at 1531 Draper Street at the Baraboo Middle School.
