| The IAFC EMS Section has been participating in weekly conference calls with NHTSA, CDC, ASPR, The White House and all the major EMS and Fire services and organizations regarding the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation. Please continue to send me your concerns and questions so I can carry these forward. There are, for those who may not have seen them, numerous resources available, the most heavily funded and specifically targeted to us is the NETEC. |
| The feds have continued NETEC (National Ebola Training and Education Center) funding and NETEC has done a major ramp up of COVID-19 resources including videos on proper use of PPE, decon, plus a plethora of other resources. A quick link to the NETEC COVID-19 site |
