Orange Co. EM needs to develop better <br />communication with the various departments to overcome the mistrust, this would also include the surrounding <br />counties. The other thing would be clear organization in EM with appropriate personnel staff to accomplish the <br />large task ahead of us. The suggestion of dissolving North Orange Rescue and absorbing into the County would <br />be an option, but at what price tag? I do agree with the additional support personnel for EMS along with the <br />equipment. We also need to think about stations and grid sections better then we have now. Would an option to <br />help the volunteer~fire organizations with upgrades be renting space like we do at the rescue squads? So many <br />questions about this report and ideas come to mind in future planning for all involved. i will be in on Friday after <br />the hot wash and touch base. <br />Thanks for the report. Very informative. <br />Steven Riley <br />EM Planning Coordinator <br />Orange Co Emergency Management <br />919-968-2050 work <br />919-672-3090 cell <br />
