Good afternoon. On the eve of my departure to attend a the Incident Response to Terrorist Bombings (IRTB) Course (a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness (SLGCP)course) I thought it would be useful to post an introduction and a purpose.
The purpose is simply this: to try to connect the dots between the homeland security world and the clinical/hospital world that needs to be constantly vigilant and prepared for disasters, terrorism, or other emergencies.
I am a manager at a hospital with a decade and a half in the field, a student who will shortly be starting a Master's in Public Health (Emergency Management concentration), and an up and coming Emergency Manager in Healthcare. Please read the bio-page for additional information.
I hope this blog will attract other healthcare and emergency professionals and lead to discussions that will pave the way for streamlined success...and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Good luck, stay safe...and I will write more from the IRTB.
