Ready Camp Handout
Barbara Nelson forwarded READY CAMP training information to School Nurses.
2006 IPS Functional Exercise Handout
IPS stands for Interim Pharmaceutical Stockpile. It provides a three -day supply of medication to PH
professionals, hospital staff, LE, Fire, EMS, Dispatch and their families. Barbara Nelson will compose a
letter and send it to all emergency responders requesting the number of individuals on staff, this then will
create a database to be used for an event. On 10/26/06 the IPS Exercise will take place at the Public
Health Dept.
CDC Clinician Communication Report
This handout told of an Anthrax case in Pennsylvania.
Director's Report — Emergency Management
This handout explained the Governor's Conference; it will take place on April 4 -5, 2006.
Director's Report — Emergency Communications
Kollman reported that there are not sufficient funds to pursue the Fire Repeater Project due to the
insistence by OJA that all equipment must be P25 Ready as opposed to P25 Capable, even though our
Fire/EMS Users will never need such capability. The WCIA Interoperability Grant could be expanded to
cover the additional cost but the County would have to provide a 25% match. The Committee decided to
discuss this with the Finance Committee on April 13, 2006.
Emergency Management Contracted Services
This handout explained the proposed contract for emergency management services. "Paragraph IV.
Compensation; Supplies and Equipment" will be rewritten. The Committee will conduct interviews on
April 10 at 9:00 a.m. A Jacobson/Grant MOTION was made to fill the vacancy with a Contracted person.
CERT Training Grant Progress
Mehls explained that we have received the Grant. Eighteen people are signed up to receive CERT
training.
Mehls asked the Committee if he could attend the Citizen Corp. Conference on June 14 -15, 2006; a
Grant/Jacobson MOTION was granted to Mehls for attendance.
Committee Chairman's Report
Mehls has sent a letter to the City of New Richmond and City Cable TV Regulatory Board asking for
proper functioning of the Emergency TV Channel Over -Ride provided by Rapid Cable.
