IKE Ambulance Coordination

[Guest guest]

I want to let every one know that and Dudley along with the other folks in

the RMOC (I hope that's right) did an outstanding job. Over the course of the

last four days they saved my (Calhoun Counties) bacon multiple times. We were

able to get ambulance resources in amazing time frames. GOOD JOB FELLAS

I have to admit that I did not pay attention to terms like RMOC or DDC because

it appeared to me that hospitals were involved with those terms. However, it

became evident that they apply to and force local EMS, hospitals and Emergency

Management folks to get together and on the same page when resources are needed.

Thanks for the real time education and all of the help you guys provided. I

don't care what time of day or night over the last four days I called, I was

able to speak directly with Dudley. I don't think he slept a minute in the last

four days.

Everybody give these guys a pat on the back. Someday you may need them.

That is so absolutely terrific!! It is great to know that the system is working

and considering where your service is located, you should know, Henry. We will

keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

I would also like to say one more thing about this issue. The strike teams

that responded to our needs were wonderful. Everyone was respectful and

professional. The team leaders we knowledgeable and more than willing to

assist us in getting the resources we needed. If we request that they get

back with us on transport locations and contact information we saw immediate

action.

We in turn fed and housed the teams at the hospital until they were needed

and assigned a patient. At all times they were respectful and interacted

with the hospital personnel well. The hospital on many occasions

complemented these men and women to me.

On one occasion they were given the opportunity to hang with us at the

courthouse and eat jail food or go back to the hospital. They gave me a

group hug and went back to the hospital. They liked the food better.

We also made sure that their units were fueled up upon arrival at our

location. I don't know if that was expected or not but we felt obligated to

do this in return for the great service they provided to us. We have Texas

EMS providers here along with folks from California and other states. I

guess EMS is EMS wherever you are from.

If any of the Strike teams are on this list or if any of you can forward to

folks that served on a Strike team, please pass this on.

THANKS GUYS

I'm glad the hospital food scores higher than the jail food!

Henry,

I am glad that you and yours are well. I was very worried about you.

Also, I am in no way surprised that Texas showed the rest of the world how to

do disaster. Thanks to Dudley and everybody else who rose to the occasion

and made things work, as Texans always do.

Even though I'm safe and dry here in the desert, and the worst thing we have

to deal with is the flash floods that accompany the monsoon rains (yes, we do

have rain in AZ) and the idiots that drive into flooded washes, I still

appreciate the great system that Texas has and all those who make it the

greatest

system in the country.

Glad you're well, and I'll see you all at the Conference.
