Regional Emergency Medical Task Force Planning gets Underway
The planning stage of the Texas Regional Emergency Medical Task Force (EMTF) has begun here in the Heart of Texas. Under the administration of DSHS, The Health Services and Resources Administration’s (HRSA) Hospital Preparedness Program Grant is funding efforts to strengthen regional medical response and recovery systems in Texas. RAC’s are joining together to form 8 Regional EMTF teams.
Brazos Valley RAC (TSA-N), Central Texas RAC (TSA-L) and Capital Area Trauma RAC (TSA-O) comprise EMTF-7. Each EMTF region is tasked to develop and coordinate an Ambulance Strike Team, Nurse Strike Team, Ambus Unit, and Mobile Medical Unit. An EMTF 7 Coordinating Body has been participating in coordinated planning meetings since July 2010.
Posted to the right are some of the initial drafts and other information that is being developed by dedicated stakeholders and volunteers throughout the State. If you or your agency would like to be a part of the EMTF 7 team, please contact David Rogers. Please see the attached Powerpoint for an overview of the Emergency Medical Task Force project. If you have any questions feel free to contact David Rogers, TSA-N, Executive Director. Emergency Medical Task Force Powerpoint
