[ccm-l] Summary Comments relating to the Minneapolis Disaster

[KMATTOX at aol.com]

Dr. Ryon:  
 
I am very very impressed with what you in the NE states are doing with  
disaster preparedness.   I have heard good things about your  state.   I did visit 
the Disaster planning and programs for  Connecticut.   I am so very impressed 
with their program.    They already had a fantastic state wide trauma network 
and have build the  disaster network on top of the trauma network, using those 
who are in the Trauma  EOCs at the hospital to be members of the states 
regional EOCs.    Connecticut is one of the very few states to have done that.   I  
understand that NH is also modeling their program after  Connecticut.     You 
also might want to be aware of the many  great things in planning and funding 
that are being developed and pushed by the  National Foundation for Trauma 
Care.   I trust that your hospital is a  member of the National Foundation.  
They have a fantastic packet to assist  you in applying for such grant support.   
 If you are not a  member of NFTC, then join today
