"Good talk."
"Excellent presentation, very informative." "Sounds like another excellent text/reference book for First Responders. This one can be used by the initial arriving crews with the 2008 NA ERG." Vance Duncan City of Erie, PA Bureau of Fire "As a Director of Information Technology, I know the value of getting accurate information to the key decision-maker (i.e. Director of Emer. Management, Town Manager, etc.), our end-users of that technology, as well as our residents of our community. Since 9/11, Winthrop has been able to attain many grants for technology for the area of Emergency Management/ Planning. I was a key person, along with our Police & Fire Chiefs, who got our EOC up and running. We look for new ways to train our First Responders. This guide is a solution for, and I view it as, a tool that no First Responder should be without in the field. You can learn a lot in a classroom but a true student is one that has experience -- this guide will offer that student the perfect compliment to be ready and prepared. Thank you." Michele Karas Town of Winthrop, MA |
