    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)?

    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.

    Where can I find a official reference to the DOJ/FEMA Emergency Response To Terrorism, Published In 1997?

    Where can I find a official reference to the DOJ/FEMA emergency response To Terrorism: Basic Concepts Instructor Guide published in 1997 or pre Sep 11, 2001(The one with the cross-hairs on one of the WTC buildings)? A ISBN or .gov site with direct information and images would be ideal.

    if there is such a thing, then I would start with google, then firstgov.gov, then ask a librarian.

    Is this the first cell phone and or 911 emergency response system?

    I’m currenly in college, my major is criminal justice. I was just wondering if I would have to already be a P.A State trooper before I could apply for SERT

    You will need to spend anywhere from 3-5 years on the street in patrol before you are eligible to transfer into any special unit.

    i need a list of all emergency response agencies that helped in the mount st helens disaster in 1980?

    From: Myers and Theisen, 1994, Volcanic Event Notification at Mount St. Helens: IN: Casadevall, (ed.), 1994, Volcanic Ash and Aviation Safety: Proceedings of the First International Symposium on Volcanic Ash and Aviation Safety: USGS Bulletin 2047, 450p
    When Mount St. Helens awoke in March 1980, there was an immediate need for the rapid dissemination of information about volcanic events and hazards. An emergency coordination center (ECC) was established at the U. S. Forest Service (USFS) facility in Vancouver, Washington. The facility was staffed 24 hours a day by USFS personnel experienced with emergency response. During critical times, the ECC was also staffed by representatives of the U. S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory, emergency management agencies, and private companies. A communications network and telephone call-down procedures were developed to facilitate rapid dissemination of information about the activity of the volcano. Information was also disseminated through public meetings, press conferences, and briefings with governmental agencies and private businesses (Miller and others, 1981). Written "volcanic and seismic activity reports" were issued daily. These "daily updates" provided information on the status of the volcano and any significant changes or observations during the previous 24 hours.

    Since 1980, this notification system has been modified in response to changes in volcanic activity, funding, and the concerns of government, business, and the public. Key changes include the capability of issuing written predictions weeks in advance of most eruptions; eliminating the need for 24-hour duty for both USFS/ECC and CVO staff except when eruptions are imminent; entering all predictions and updates into a computer "news" system for easy review by those on the call-down list; updating volcanic activity reports when the volcano is quiet; and, most recently, developing a seismic alarm to alert scientists to small events that occur without precursors.
    Monitorings and Warnings
    From: Wolfe and Pierson, 1995, Volcanic-Hazard Zonation for Mount St. Helens, Washington, 1995: USGS Open-File Report 95-497
    Volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens is carefully monitored by the U. S. Geological Survey and the University of Washington. Some kinds of events, such as crater-wall avalanches or steam- driven explosions from the dome have occurred without warning in the past and may do so again. However, our experience since early 1980 at Mount St. Helens and elsewhere indicates that the monitoring is sufficient for us to detect the ascent of fresh magma that must take place before another large eruption. As in the past, interpretation of phenomena related to magma ascent will enable us to provide warnings and updated assessments of hazards.

    Lahar and flood hazards are monitored by the U. S. Geological Survey and the National Weather Service; the latter agency has responsibility for providing warnings of floods, including lahars. Currently monitoring includes: (1) lake-level gages on Castle, Coldwater, and Spirit Lakes, (3) sensors to measure movement on the Castle Lake debris dam, (3) flow-vibration sensors in the North Fork Toutle River valley to detect passage of lahars or floods, and (4) streamflow gages in the North Fork, South Fork, and main channel of the Toutle River and in the Muddy River.
