Original warning text
Floating drums; San Francisco Bay, CA. San Francisco Bay, CA. 1. On December 2, 1014, the USCG Sector San Francisco responded to a report of a floating drum in the waters just East of Treasure Island. Nearly 24-hours later, Sector San Francisco responded to yet another report of a floating drum in the waters just East of Yerba Buena Island, less than 1.5 NM to the south of the first drum. Given the similar location of both empty black polyethylene drums and given the recent heavy weather moving through the San Francisco Bay area, Sector San Francisco contacted their NOAA SSC to request trajectory support in identifying a potential source area(s) for the two (and possibly future) drums. 2. THREAT: CHEMICAL. COMMODITY: EMPTY DRUM, DEBRIS, POSSIBLE HAZMAT. 3. POSITION 37.831N 122.353W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 8855: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/8855
