After katrina, after disasters, when we are focused on the population, there need to be partnerships that exist between the Public Sector and the private sector to make sure that i continuity of care can sustain, so our partnership, our organization it designed to keep coordination and healthcare that old flowing after a disaster, can happen between the government and the private parallel sector. Portcrisis. What are the parallels from back in 2014, 2015 . Guest yes, i think one of the most important lessons from the Ebola Outbreak was the role of partnerships. A big part of the responsibility that our team had was to make sure that the u. S. State department was working with the who and working with the u. S. Agency on the coronation that needed to happen across government, with businesses, to make sure that the west african outbreak could be contained, and that whatever we could do to make sure that the logistics were able to flow could sustain, and i think that is a big part of what
Support that employee needs, whether its emotional support, whether they need attention in the Emergency Department or any kind of physical or behavioral support they need. So its quite a lot that we do to respond. Supervisor stefani i just want to make sure, too, because if a violent incident is occurring, like say someone is under meth induced psychosis and in that moment a nurses life is threatened, how quickly i know there is the deputy sheriff. I just want to make sure the Response Time is quick and thats what im trying to get at. Its not just verbal assault from what i heard, especially with p. S. And what were experiencing on the street with methamphetamine and what that can do to people and what that can do to the nurses. I didnt mention the sheriffs department. We have a multimillion dollar contract with the sheriffs department. We have posted positions. We have roefg positions. Our Security Director oversees that contract. We have a captain and many others throughout the heal

Saint marys, thats the one piece we know we have to set up, mobile showers. They allowed us to use their trailer. They also coordinated with urban balcony to provide shower services and that was great to have them as a partner as well. Medical care, pet care, supplies, and technology. I know you pointed this out as well. Initially people want to be connected to the outside world. They want to know whats going on, they want to communicate with their families and be connected to their communities. D. T. Provided some wifi boosting within saint marys and allowed residents to have a connection through wifi. Also event information. There was a p. I. O. That came from the actual response area to give residents realtime information about evacuation orders that have been lifted.
