  • Wind and Humidity for Emergency Response Guide?

    Posted by admin on May 24th, 2010 and filed under emergency response | 1 Comment »

    I have the most current ERG (2008). It does not factor in Wind Speed or Humidity when giving the downwind predictions. Is there another guide to go with the ERG or a website with that information?
    *Emergency Response Guidebook

    None that I have seen. Usually, the HazMat unit handling the incident will use one of the several computer programs that are available to model the plume spread and speed. Here is an informational link to one of the various programs for this purpose:

    I have to do a report on the emergency response effort of an aircraft accident.

    You might call your local FSDO office and see if they’re give you a telephone interview. In general though, these guys are true gov’t service employees and spend most of their days talking about their "countdown to retirement". They generally aren’t looking for more work (i.e. talking to people).

    Who would get vaccinated first during an emergency?

    Posted by admin on April 10th, 2010 and filed under emergency response | 2 Comments »

    1. Volunteers who got not even a month of training, and are not nationally/state certified. (CERT aka Community Emergency Response Team, etc)

    OR

    2. Emergency medical employees with WMD, hazmat training, and years of experience (EMT-Intermediates, EMT-Paramedics, etc). They are also licensed and know how to give proper injections.

    Here is a link to the chart that gives the vaccination priorities in the event of a panademic. The information you are looking for is on slide number 7.

    If you notice - according to the chart: ‘Emergency Services’ (Emergency Medical, Fire and police services) are all ‘Tier 1′ and are among the first groups to be vaccinated.

    The people performing community support and emergency management duties (which includes your CERT people) are Tier 2 and only get vaccinated after all the Tier 1 people get the shots.

I installed the game but now when I try to play the game, it says: "I need to reboot the computer to install dream catcher games protection driver. I restarted my computer twice and the same message pops up. How can I play the game

    I have the PC Game Emergency Fire Response and I can’t find the Code Key. Anyone know how I can obtain it?

    Posted by admin on February 5th, 2010 and filed under emergency response | 1 Comment »

    It is a key that is required when you first download the game. A screen pops up from Starforce Protection asking for a key. I don’t have the original package for the game, and the computer that I had this game on before, the motherboard and hard drive burned up. Thanks for any help. BTW….after a little research, apparantly the code is the same for all the games of the same title.

    its against the rules of this site to give out keys, serials, codes etc. for games.
    google it

    What is the normal Emergency Services response time for a small town?

    Posted by admin on January 30th, 2010 and filed under emergency response | 1 Comment »


    That is really dependent on the distance the respondent has to travel & the nature of the emergency!
    Fires will generally have a longer response time if it’s a volunteer fire department. Police, if cruising in the area will generally respond more quickly. EMT’s or ambulances respond as called.

    What kind of education/ training is needed to become an emergency response specialist for the CDC?

    The only information on the website is the description of the job. I guess I will have to contact them.

    I’m not being flippant, but the best way to find out is to contact them. They have a website and you can email them and ask.

    Have you heard of Teen SERT/CERT (School Emergency Response Training/Community Emergency Response Team)?

    Posted by admin on January 18th, 2010 and filed under emergency response | 3 Comments »


    Yes, I am a big fan of the program (and Haley) and am working on getting the program onto my county CERT program. I am currently trying to recruit College Students to create teams on their campus. Hopefully this will prove a positive step for a move into high schools. (To county OEM where we report into)
    If we work with them while they are young, there is a good chance this will carry forward into adulthood and they will become responsible and caring adults.
