Good meeting last night. The team has decided to pursue their HAM Radio license to better equip us to better serve you during times where communications have been lost.

We had another idea, Emergency Preparedness Fair, gathering Emergency Responder agencies from across Smith and Cherokee counties, setting up booths to display their roles during disasters, amd giving hands on demonstrations. What do you think?

Had the opportunity to visit with and listen to the Director of EMS from Poland about the growing number of Ukrainian refugees who have sought out help from Poland during the 2022 Preparedness Coalition Symposium. His story holds alot of lessons which could happen anywhere or anytime. Being prepared and training as if it were the real deal hones a teams ability to react.
