Subject: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Docket ID FEMA-2011-0012 Two messages were found which might offer options for course material. The burden for students to report these topics may reduce if captured here. Attachment 1 describes the topic of flying water dropping helicopters at night for firefighting. Double safety issues existed with this type of flying, first for the pilot, and second for those on the ground being threatened by the fire. A course that can teach the limits of safe helicopter flying at night might help both the pilot and those on the ground based on this attachment. Attachment 2 describes the topic of using emergency cargo containers to place public emergency supplies. This is a notice by one City to eventually use the containers. Since the notice provided evidence the containers were going to be used, training on these containers might be practical.
