------- continued from above HEMA
also has several programs that we directly operate and manage, or are a p=
art
of. We created the Holbrook Citizens Corps Council, which is used to
coordinate the activities of the Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) and =
the
Community Emergency Response Teams, both of which provide training for
residents in disaster preparedness and make us eligible for state and fed=
eral
funding. The
Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service, a program sponsored by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency, uses trained Ham Radio Operators to provide
communications links between local, state, and federal agencies. We can a=
lso
communicate with many private organizations that provide services during
disasters, such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, using ham radio.=
The
Shelter Team is a new program that HEMA is starting. We are enlisting the assistance =
of
local residents and are training them to manage and staff our emergency
evacuation shelters. Our shelter staff will be a major part of a response=
to
a major emergencies. The
Randolph Medical Reserve Corps, sponsored by the Town of Randolph with the
participation of the Towns of Avon, Stoughton and Holbrook, provides a
trained pool of volunteers for use during pandemics or other times when t=
he
resources of local medical facilities are overwhelmed. HEMA acts in a sup=
port
role for this unit. For more information, see the Medical Reserve Corps p=
age
and the Holbrook board of Health Pages. |
