I would really like to hear stories from the field, so if you are there, please send us your experiences.
Our local DMAT team meeting was tonight, the house was packed, we even had several new people who came to apply to join. We went through the health and security issues involved in deploying to Haiti and heard bits and pieces of our sister team CA-6 who was one of the first teams there. They had to sleep out in the open for nine days. That's rugged.
I've been getting more communications about doctors and nurses who spontaneously went there and are having problems because they are expecting some agency or organization to put them up or have an assignment for them. Or, they are getting overwhelmed. Evacuating them takes up air time, flight space, fuel, manpower, etc. Don't do it!
