2017. Are we ready to take up the load? Hospital, and community response teams.

NOTE:

• ·        Keep in mind many hospitals in urban, and other areas may be in older structures and in need of full decontamination for possible dormant diseases.
• ·        Could volunteer fire\ems stations with faith-based and other organizations as part of the community response team fill the gap for those that may ‘fall between the cracks’, especially in our communities.
• ·        Gulf, and East Coast States the hurricane season will soon arrive.  Is your community ready?

'When you have a FEMA disaster, some people have insurance.  Some people are helped by FEMA. There’s a small group of people that fall into the cracks that no one is there to help.'
