Disaster Gap

@EMedTox

@EMedTox

"Is the scene safe?"

"Sure!"

Responsibilities

@EMedTox

Fix every course! Teach how to be safe in an unsafe place!

@EMedTox

Help define the minimum essential curriculum.

@EMedTox

First Responders: be compassionate. Anticipate and assess the actions, needs,

and antics of Immediate Responders.

@EMedTox

Reach out to Immediate Responders the way we reach out to First Responders.

Help them connect and process.
