Do you have any role in emergency management or public safety?

Are you in a volunteer or a paid position (or both)?

I wouldn't exactly call it emergency management, but I do some volunteer
work for SOS.  That's a community crisis intervention center.  Most of
what we do is in the background.

I am chairman of the UM College of Engineering Safety Committee (this
does not require rushing off to accidents), and I am a backup person for
a cave rescue call-down. I'd like to find a niche for using my ham radio
hobby for public service, but have only chased bicycles, so far O=O.

At least you get more exercise than I do!

Well I am not sure if this counts as public Safety.
But I am a member of The Civil Air Patrol.  A Search And Rescue Group
Run by the Air Force.  We Specialize in Aviation Crashes and any other
SAR Activities needed in the community. If you want to get involved
Look for a Chapter at your local Airport.  We Cater to all Areas of
interest from Flying and Ground SAR to Radio Communications.

I've expanded my involvement by getting RACES (Radio Amateur Civil
Emergency Service) certified, and have just completed "basic"
SKYWARN spotter training. These activities have an Item in the
radio conference, though there would be some point of linking items
here if a amateur radio Item were considered desirable.

I am very much into Emergency Response.  I am a paid police officer in Prince
Georges County MD.  I am also a volunteer firefighter and paramedic.  I also
volunteer with the Office of Emergency prepardness.  My email address is
gb97@umail.umd.edu.

I'm a paramedic with Huron Valley Ambulance.  I'm also a nursing student, so
you bet I'm paid.>

I'm a security officer at the UofM Hospital (and yes it is a paid
position).

I'm a fulltime PO with the Dowagiac, MI PD. I'm also VP of the Midwest
Gang Investigators Assoc.

I have recently joined an American Red Cross Disaster Action Team, with
the Washtenaw chapter. My first 'run' was at midnight to an apartment fire
in a low-income section of Ypsilanti. We provided for comfort and housing
of the family that was evicted by the fire (no injuries). My second 'run'
was to open a Warming Shelter, also in Ypsi, in an area where power had
been out for three days after the recent ice storm. If you think you'd be
interested in serving the community in this fashion, sign up for the next
Disaster Action Team Orientation on 21 May, 6-9 p.m. (call the Red Cross
Community Emergency Services department at 971-5300 for more information).

I am a Trooper with the New York State Police, and I'm assigned to the Troop
D Computer Crimes Unit.  I actually get paid to be on the Internet!  If anyone
is interested in exchanging ideas, comments about Law Enforcement on the
Information Highway, you can reach me at nysp@borg.com.

Have you found any computer crimes here? (Other than crimes against syntax,
grammar, and punctuation.....)

I am a member of the previously mentioned RACES, and an advanced SKYWARN storm
spotter, bothin Washtenaw county.

The activities of ARROW (radio amateur) members in supporting the Y2K
activitation of the Washtenaw County Chapter of the Red Cross is
described in a Notice at www.cyberspace.org/~arrow/
