DMORT II Update - June 2006 -

Please Logon and read an important update listed in Newsletters dated June 2nd and May 8th, 2006. Thank you!

ICS TRAINING

Remember to take your ICS training (IS100, IS200, IS700 and IS800) on the Emergency Management Institute website. There is a September 30th deadline for Emergency personnel from around the country to take the basics. It is interesting and painless and we want to respond as the professionals we are in future deployments.

 



Immunizations 2006 -

Per NDMS regulations, the following immunizations are required for you to be an active member of DMORT and to be deployable. To attend any trainings, you must be designated as deployable as well.
Immunization requirements by NDMS duty assignment: 

  • Influenza
  • MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
  • Polio (IPV)
  • Tetanus-diphtheria (Td)
  • Varicella (chickenpox)
  • Hepatitis A (2 doses)
  • Hepatitis B (3 doses)TB skin test (PPD)

Many of you have not responded to Susan Rivera’s poll for a copy of the yellow immunization card. This is being mandated by the Chief Medical Officer of NDMS and we must comply as a team.

You must have all vaccinations including the multiple dose vaccines in order to deploy. These vaccinations can be obtained at an FOH clinic near you. You must call to schedule an appointment and identify yourself as a FEMA/NDMS intermittent employee.

If you believe you have had most of the childhood vaccinations but cannot produce records, your regular doctor can perform a simple blood test and check for titers for each of these. Unfortunately, the FOH will not perform these tests and you will not be reimbursed for the cost of the test.

If you have not responded to date, you can either scan in a copy of your yellow card but the scan must be legible for our records email a copy to Kevin.



Forensics Demystified by DMORT 2 -

DMORT 2 members David Fisher and Jason Kolowski (along with Barry Fisher) recently published a new book about forensic science entitled Forensics Demystified (published by McGraw-Hill, ISBN: 0071454306).

Forensics Demystified explains forensic science in a logical progression from evidence collection through analysis and finally to the scientist actually testifying in court. First, you'll get an introduction to the various aspects of forensic science as well as some details on its beginnings. Next, you'll learn about crime scene investigation, forensic pathology, and DNA. Other topics covered include firearms and toolmarks, drugs and toxicology, forensic psychiatry, and much more. Featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam, this book will teach you the fundamentals of forensics in no time at all.

It is available at www.amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.

Congratulations to David & Jason!
