Providing oversight on today’s US DHS and PS Canada International Exercise #Cause4 #CauseIV
I was requested to support the Department of Homeland Security’s 2016 Science and Technology Cause-4 International Exercise between the United States and Canada today.
United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Public Safety Canada. Yep-international baby!!!!!
But crossing borders is more difficult than you think – esp when dealing with patient privacy, tactical operations, and coordinating efforts amongst ultra type-A personalities.
This is why training and exercising is so crucial to agencies who want to make a different in their communities they serve. This is also why Emergency Management is ideally a solid coordinating entity for this type of response.
In this particular international exercise, emergency response agencies are testing EMS response, transport information, sharing actionable data, social media, and a whole lots others stuff.
I’m just glad to be a small part of the work by so many people and agencies.
I am convinced that through joint exercises, we can build stronger core agencies and be better responsive to emerging threats and hazards.

Boss went nuts on a flight – now daughter’s foolish conduct
It’s interesting on how various cultures around the world approach the delivered message.
As an example, this type of delivery would never work in the US.
Public Information Officers (PIOs) and Public Affairs Officers (PAOS) must understand significant differences when delivering messages to areas who are culturally diverse.
Your thoughts on the Korean Air President’s comment? “Daughter’s foolish conduct”
(In a few other reports, his message was translated as “Please scold me. It is my fault”)
Toledo LifeFlight under the microscope for non-life threatening aeromedical transport #EMS
So it seems like Toledo LifeFlight and Put-In-Bay EMS just made WKYC’s news last night. I’m not quite sure who this investigative report is intended to pin the blame, but to me it sounds like Toledo LifeFlight is under the microscope because of non-life threatening aeromedical transport.
(Pertaining to EMS calls) “We don’t want to go short on the staff here.” – Keith Kahler, PiB EMS.
“…anxiety attack that looks very similar to a chest pain” – Dr. Daniel Schwerin, Toledo LifeFlight Medical Director.
Watch WKYC’s investigative story here
Did WKYC cut Dr. Schwerin clip a bit short? Did the spokesperson from PiB EMS give contradictory statements? Or did Tom Meyer get too excited just by reading police reports?
Let me know what you think.
Its #EMSWeek2014 – We need your help in roadway safety #Paramedic #EMT #Firefighter
It’s #EMSWeek2014 – Stressing safety to everyone is an important part of our job.
We are seeing more car crashes due to distracted driving. Put down your phone and pay attention to the road. As emergency responders, I would hate to meet you for the first time like this…
Worse yet, we don’t want to get hit.
Distracted driving can injure and kill. Remember, don’t text and drive.
Please, share this message with others and stress the importance of roadway safety.
And again, thank all your first responders for their dedicated service.

Thank all of your EMS Professionals this week #EMSWeek 2014 #EMS #EMSWeek2014
Celebrate Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week on May 18th – 24th 2014. Numerous communities across the nation, as well as several national events are planned around this year’s theme “EMS: Dedicated for Life.”
Thank all of your Emergency Medical Services Professionals this week. During any crisis or disaster or everyday emergency, these men and women bring emergency care to anyone in need.
Just in 2014 alone, we’ve had numerous school shootings, tornados hit several southern states, a landslide in Washington, wildfires in California, and flooding in Florida. EMS professionals work tirelessly day-in/day-out to assist and support others who are sick or injured. At every call, EMS treats and transports people in their most critical times of need 24-hour a day – dedication, professionalism and commitment.
Each year EMS Week honors the contributions of EMS Professionals throughout the country and stresses the need and importance of strong public support for all our EMS Providers.
Happy National Emergency Medical Services Week!
