NY Code - Section 209-E: Fire mobilization and mutual aid plan
http://codes.lp.find...de/GMU/10/209-e
NYS Mutual Aid Mobilization
Request gets made for specific items (i.e. swiftwater team, engines for fire standby, utilities with pumps for pumpouts, fire police teams etc...) from the areas affected, it goes through NYSDHS/OFPC/OEM, who then reaches out to specific areas for those items/manpower. The County Coordinator then reaches out to departments that typically have the manpower and equipment. It is then on the department to decide who is qualified based on their standards.
3 agencies from Dutchess Co went down earlier today, Amenia, Fairview and Hughsonville. This is in addition to Arlington and LaGrange the other day BEFORE the storm hit, with Swiftwater teams and gear.

Officer Ivan Marcano of the NYPD's Transit District 12 was promoted to Detective this morning in a bedside promotion ceremony with Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. PO Marcano was off duty when he observed 3 males robbing a man on street an took action. Officer Marcano was shot once in the chest, but was still able to pursue the perpetrators, firing his weapon weak handed, while his strong hand was applying pressure to his wounds. I work in the same command with Ivan, he is resting comfortably in the hospital, and is expected to make a complete recovery. He should be released from the hospital shortly. Watching the video and hearing him talk about the action first hand is incredible. You can see in the video how he reverted to the training we have received to take cover, change positions if needed, and never give up the fight even if injured. Great Job Ivan, I am sure the Firearms and Tactics Section will use your story and video to help train future officers.

EmtBravo incident alert: http://www.emtbravo....er-shot-102412/

Gov. Cuomo Issues State of Emergency for all of NYS.

Just one of several models, this one from NOAA. I get most of my updates from a great local source:

To call it hype at this point is premature. There's still a lot of latitude in the forecast models and the error range has been 175 NM. That's a huge range! Regardless, even if the storm hits the Delmarva Peninsula, we will be right in the path of the rotation of the storm and during a full moon.
People I'm talking to are likening this storm to the nor'Easter of 1992 that hammered our region; this storm could be every bit of that and then some. 1-2 inches or rain causes flooding and this has the potential to bring twice that.
Don't be too quick to blow this off.

What would be cool is if every operator on the HazMat team has helmet cams that feed back to the computer monitors so command is sitting in the rig kinda like in Aliens and able to see video feeds on every operator. Oh....and a big honking gun turret on the top that folds down for those low overpasses.

Membership,
Over the years, EMTBravo IA's have provided a great look into active incidents. Many dedicated members took their time to listen to radio traffic and document activities that occurred where some members did not have the ability to otherwise hear. Recently, many websites have given people across the globe the ability to listen to incidents live (obviously with some delay). While we have seen an increase in the QUANTITY of IA postings, the overall QUALITY has deteriorated. There are still many IA Writers who do produce very high quality IA's. Unfortunately with the loss of Truck4, who was the IA guru, not much attention has been paid to this section since his departure.
Many members now use outside sources (media releases, other forums etc...) to compile their information and create an IA in our forums. The general discussion amongst the Staff has come down with some alterations to, and reinforcements of existing Site Rules.
1) IA's are now no longer permitted to be posted if the incident occurred 24+ hours ago. Extenuating Circumstances do apply (i.e. you were on scene and could not post while at work etc...). Long-term/Ongoing incidents do not apply, as they are still active. The whole point of an IA is an Incident ALERT. Posting incidents from greater than 24 hours no longer constitutes as an Alert, and should be posted in the appropriate Local Forum. Whenever an IA is created, it then creates a link in the Shoutbox. Older incidents that are long since cleared then clog up the Shoutbox.
2) No use of outside sources for the sole purpose of creating an IA. People using Internet News Articles as their sole source for an IA defeats the purpose. Those type of postings should be made in the appropriate Local Forum. Including a link to a media article, or other source shall remain acceptable, so long as it is not the sole source of your information.
**Reminder** Only CONFIRMED Incidents are to be posted as an IA.
As with all other existing Site Policies, EMTBravo Staff retain the right to alter the rules at any point without notice. It is the job of the Membership to stay on top of Site Rules and Policies. We are happy to entertain constructive suggestions at any point as we strive to improve the quality of this site!

Another selfless act by our First Responders! Putting his own safety aside to rush to the aid of someone at their darkest moment. I hope after debriefing and any counseling he realizes that he did everything in his power, more than the average person, for this man, and should be proud of his actions!!

It's an order issued to members of the NYPD instructing them to let photographers be.

Thanks Ang. You guys are alright in my book. Thank you very much for thinking of us. We did a lot of preparation, shuttered up the doors and windows, bought all the emergency supplies. Thankfully the storm did not grow to Cat 1 here. So we're fine. Minor and I mean minor wind damage.
Thoughts and prayers turn now toward our Brothers and Sisters on up on the Gulf coast.
But I'll still take the goodwill supplies. When are you expecting to arrive?
Stay safe Brothers.
