Since this is to be recorded in the annals of Port Authority history there needs to be made
mention of several groups of persons within the Port Authority whose untiring effort made our
mission possible. First and foremost SEMAC needs to be included as a group who responded to
our every request. They performed every task in the early days of this incident. From searching
the rubble to hooking up electricity for the command post they were there. Their response to this
incident earned them a place in any disaster response plan. PA Automotive also was immediately
on the scene providing virtually any request for assistance including non automotive functions.
Both of these departments can be extremely proud of the vital on scene assistance they provided.
One of the behind the scenes groups which needs to be acknowledged for their performance, is
the central stockroom they made every request for equipment a possibility.

Finally having been responsible for the logistics on scene, I feel compelled to mention
the person at the PA OEM who fielded 90 % of our requests equipment and vehicles. Mr.
Charles Agro of the purchasing department was an essential element of our operation. He assisted
in so many ways that printed matter does not do it justice.
