This week on Mitigation Journal:Special welcome to Jason, listening to us from Fredrick County, MD!A Rochester 9-1-1 operator has been accused of searching data bases including the Terrorism Watch List with 277 names. The searches seemed to have been conducted in January of 2006 and again in October or 2007. Officials believe she intended (or maybe already has) passed information along to "others".

Our Preparedness Tip this week is: Knowing what you childs school emergency plan is vital in cases of emergency or disaster.

Actually finding the patient is only part of the job. Providers of emergency medical service (EMS) at all levels must prepare themselves prior to reaching the scene or patient for a variety of potential actions and outcomes. Waiting to arrive on-scene to develop a care plan or mental review of the potential scenarios places both provider and patient at a disadvantage.
