CG overflying Zeta impacted areas

The Coast Guard is conducting an overflight of Hurricane Zeta impacted areas this morning (Thursday). Vice Adm. Steven Poulin, commander of the Coast Guard Atlantic Area, will be aboard an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter to conduct assessment operations. He serves as the operational commander for all Coast Guard missions from the Rocky Mountains to the Arabian Gulf, spanning across five Coast Guard Districts and 40 states. From April 2009 to July 2010, he was the Commander of Coast Guard Sector Mobile, Ala., where he directed CG operations in Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle. He further served as Incident Commander for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response operations in that same geographic area from April to October 2010.
