Interesting series on disaster preparedness for health care professionals from University of California television. You can hear this, watch it online or get the date when it will be on TV. It covers natural disasters, disaster volunteerism, chemical and biological agents and pandemic influenza and emerging infections. -- Sam

Franc, yes we'll keep them in our thoughts. Please let us know how things are going there. We don't hear as much as we'd like about the issues in the Phillipines. - Sam

MEDICAL HELICOPTER CRASH LODD - SOUTH CAROLINA
FROM: The Secret List www.FirefighterCloseCalls.com

A medical flight helicopter crashed late Friday in a wooded area of Georgetown County, SC killing three people on board, according to Georgetown County Coroner Kenny Johnson.

The helicopter operated by Omniflight Helicopters, Inc., was not on a call when its base lost contact with the crew at 11:16 p.m. Friday as they made their way back to their base, Johnson said. A pilot, flight nurse and flight medic were aboard the helicopter when it crashed and there were no survivors, he said.

Dino, give our best to Mary and the other members of your team. Even if you don't know a team member intimately, there is always a loss as there is when anyone in fire, police or EMS is lost. It's all part of a larger family of caring, devoted individuals that are putting themselves out there to help others.
