Dear Donors and Supporter,

I wanted to touch base with you in order to open a dialogue and to see if you could point
me in the right direction. I have been approached with a unique opportunity that has the
potential to expand our state's response capability in the area of Mass Fatality Disaster
Events. One of the elements that has plagued many jurisdictions that have been affected
by large-scale disasters resulting in a high level of casualties (meaning hundreds, if not
thousands of people like the situation faced in Haiti) is the ability to respectfully "place to
rest" the remains of the victims of a disaster. In response to this difficulty and to provide
communities with an alternative to utilizing "mass graves," Operation Noah's Ark (a non-
profit organization) has been gearing up toward providing an alternative. Their goals are
to provide a means to give comfort to the family members of the deceased, allow the
deceased to be handled in a respectful and dignified manner, and to expand their efforts
across the United States and on a global level.

In its initial phase of development in the disaster relief field, this organization has secured
the donation of 200 cremation coffins to provide to a community, or communities, to use
to aid in the final disposition of bodies following a disaster. However, they have received
assurances from manufacturing companies, and other organizations, that the number of
units being donated in the near future to this organization for distribution will be
numbering in the thousands. As such, we are attempting to ascertain the level of interest
in and the needs to sustain this program. So, to answer the questions:

PART II OF OUR LETTER TO YOU
Operation Noah's Ark Organization
July 2001 – Present (11 years 1 month) United States

What will it cost my agency?

 The only costs that will be incurred by an agency would be the costs of transport of the
caskets to your storage facility, and the storage facility itself.

What can I use the cremation caskets for ?

As the organization is a not-for-profit organization and our contractual agreements with
the organizations donating items to Operation Noah's Ark, we require the receiving
agency to sign an agreement that items donated to them stating that: donated caskets, or
other items, must be used solely for the purposes of disaster relief following a
Presidential Declared Disaster or recognized mass fatality event. However, the receiving
organization can request that additional uses be approved (such as, use for military
service personnel service) in the agreement prior to its signing, the delivery of the
products, and a legal review will be conducted to ensure that Operation Noah's Ark
remains within the scope of their mission and charter.

Can we request assistance/resources from Operation Noah's Ark during a disaster? Any
recognized organization can request services/resources from this organization for the
purpose of disaster relief. However, due to financial, logistical, and time constraints, aid
may not be available at the time of a disaster. We are currently working to increase our
capabilities, but at this time we are working toward being proactive versus reactive.

Now that you know a little about Operation Noah's Ark, my question to you is would
your organization like to become a beneficiary of these services?

Are you an agency going to take a proactive or reactive stance in regards to potential
disasters?

In regards,

Laura Bacon
Incident Commander
