Hello DMAT Member:
Time is speeding up. Sorry for the delay in getting a newsletter out to each of you. Several events hit rather fast. Our goal has been to get newsletters out quarterly… however after returning from the NDMS Conference we were informed of the State Exercise May 2nd-instead of a newsletter several of us made personal phone calls to each of you to inform you of the Exercise. Now to recap the past several months since your last newsletter was in January.
State Exercise Joint Venture III Charlotte County Airport May 2, (Saturday) 9-5 Attendance: 20 Thank you team members Set up 3 Western Shelter tents: 1 triage/treatment tent 1 holding tent to transfer out 1 Command/Admin tent Trailer-Command/Communication The exercise was managing casualties resulting from a Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) event. The victims were transferred between Charlotte Co Airport and MacDill AFB on a C-130 aircraft. The Dept of Defense and the 622nd AES were great to work with. 12 of Fl 2 DMAT members were able to experience a transfer ride (on the C-130) to and from MacDill AFB. Great experience and fun!!! Media: TV footage shown on Channel 2/7 and WINK. Newspaper articles: Sun Herald and Charlotte Our Town. Yea!!!

DUES DUES DUES Still singing the Dues Song because so many of you have not sent in your $20.00 for this years dues and missed last year as well. We are a non profit organization and rely on dues to continue to operate- i.e.- stamps, snacks, food at the exercises and training material. Many of the members not only pay their dues but put out $$ for each exercise and to support this team in different areas. Please help support your team by sending in your fair share now. Thank you…. |
