Leaky EOC Trailer

On Monday 2/12/24 I went to the EOC Trailer in the south lot of A6 in order to retrieve the bracket for the A3 Antenna Tower. I discovered that the trailer had leaked extensively during the recent storms. The carpet is wet, there is visible drips in the ceiling and some mold. See the below pictures:

Ceiling inside the trailer with drips visible on the support bar.
I believe the white spots on the wall are mold
State of the roof on Monday. Needs repair.

On Tuesday 2/13/24 KN6OJH and I (KK6KC) were able to install a tarp with bungees that I purchased the night before with club funds. We removed all of the antennas before we put up the tarp. We will have to plan on fixing the roof once the winter is over. But this tarp should hold us till then. See the installed tarp below.
