Episode #87: Riders on the Storm - EMS and the Lady Named Dorian

Did you enjoy that week's vacation over Labor Day?  I hope so but for some of our colleagues and friends, vacation was cut short due to this lady named Dorian who devastated the Bahamas and cities along our mainland.  Dorian's wrath did injured many and sadly, a number of people lost their lives.  EMS was there once again to assist and work through the terror that Dorian evoked.  While we were saddened by the loss of life, we were heartened that ambulance services from across the country went south into the storm to help where they could.  Not many people run into danger but EMS, police and fire step forward and come to help those affected in every case like this.  Once the storm passes and the assisting teams return home, there is still much to consider.  This episode of the EMS Board & Collar pays homage to those who are always there in disaster situations. Chuck also passes along a few tips to ensure that your organization can obtain some limited form of remuneration for the time you have committed to going, caring and lending a helping hand.  Kudos to all who have made the choice to be Riders on the Storm.
