Our disaster response teams are on final notice for activation for Irene. The flights to get the crews there are already planned and we are back filling field shifts just incase they do get deployed.

The response teams have 6 hours to get to the main station from the time they get the phone call/page. And have to be on scene of the incident within 24 hours.

Sounds neat! You on a team? Make sure you take 30 seconds and drop us a message if (when) you get the call! Good luck!
 
What are you guys and gals on the East coast of the USA doing to upset mother nature at the moment? Earthquakes, Hurricanes...what's next?

Hope you come through it ok!
Take Care!

I turned in all my paperwork to be on the team about a week ago. All my certs have to be verified and then they will send me the FEMA badge and I will be on the team.

If we get deployed I won't be able to go because my certs haven't been verified yet. But next time or maybe later on. Our deployments last 15-17 days so I still have a chance. But for right now I am back filling shifts at work so that we can keep our compliance levels above 90%.

How does one get on a disaster response team?
 
AMR holds a FEMA contract for it, and when I was working for AMR all I had to do was sign up.
 
From a guy in Connecticut:

He'll apparently be "watching the hurricane in flip flops, a chest rig and NVG's"
 
The storm is coming right through Delaware, where I live, and thanks to the magic of scheduling, I'm not on shift again until Tuesday.

I've got to be honest, as much as I'd like to be working, I'm glad I can ride it out at home. It's supposed to be a storm of historical proportion.

So I just found out that my school refunds all of your unused FASFA money to you. New boots here I come lol
 
I am home finally. After a 2 hour flight and sitting at the Atlanta airport for 6 hours.

Amazing week of training. Can't wait to go back.
 
Wrapped up my first week at the new job. Looking forward to week two.
 
Had a date night with the wife tonight that was nice to be off on the same nights. Now Im on days for 2 weeks till another sup comes back from maternity leave. This will be a tease--Ive been wanting back on days for the last year.

The in-laws have evacuated from Langley AFB to slightly inland--base is on mandatory evacuation. This will suck for them if the surge goes over predicted since their house is 2 blocks from Back River.

Thoughts and prayers to all involved with this storm. Ive had to ride out and work my share and its hard. Yall stay safe.
 
Aaaaand there goes the company, firing the only decent sup we have.
 
Bloody hell I am not looking for a pink hole!
I knew you were gay!
No no no, I am plugging my headset into the computer, it goes into the green hole not the pink one!

... Brown is just not helping his case here is Brown? :D
 
Amr/drt

Hey y'all I was lookin at the post for drt I am a paramedic is San antonio. I am a part of the drt if you would like to be apart of it the steps are simple ... Be a employee of amr the go onto either a FEMA website or google it you have to complete the NIMS classes numbers 100,200,700, and 800. Then submit all your stuff to FEMA. These asses are a little lengthy but easy to complete. Also amr.net has drt info also let me know if y'all have any questions I'll do my best thx

Brown's mind might be as cracked as Alabama clay which would prove why Brown is much too young to feel this damn old, but if Brown figures tomorrow might never come then why give in and go down until the sun comes up?

*Brown sucks down some more coffee ....

Oh, Brown also blames it all on his roots but you'll never hear Brown complain

Don't quit this place. You're great to have around.

I'm also surprised the Kiwi can quote country music songs.
