(I've taken part in several exercises). I work with trauma surgeons, EMT's and paramedics too, so they could share their tips. Gail Gail Pyne-Geithman, D.Phil.

Some of us may want to go through training so that we're ready for the next ice storm, tornado, blackout, etc. To me this makes as much sense as block watch groups to prevent crime and the like. It is possible to get basic training in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. The contact in Ohio is: Ohio Contact: David O'Reilly Title: Address: Ohio Community Service Council 51 N High Street, Suite 800 Columbus, OH. 43215 Phone: (614) 728-2916 Email: david.oreilly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FEMA also has a site for disaster readiness at http://www.fema.gov/areyouready/. They also have a disaster supplies checklist at http://www.fema.gov/areyouready/appendix_b.shtm. Maybe we should get University Heights and "Middle Riddle" ready for whatever before whatever happens.
