Planning has already started for the 2009 Pierce County High Risk Populations Disaster Planning Summit! This year it is on Tuesday, June 9th from 7:30 to noon at the Oasis of Hope Center, 1937 South G St. in Tacoma. This is our third summit, and each year it gets better and better. This year we will have a presentation on a nursing home evacuation during the January 2009 flooding; a panel on disaster medications; and some networking opportunities. We hope you will join us. Registration is free, and you can RSVP to sbadger@co.pierce.wa.us anytime.
The picture at the right is from last year's Summit - over 150 people attended from over 110 different agencies and organizations. Participants included representatives from long term care providers, social service agencies, law enforcement, fire departments, military, the deaf and hard of hearing community, homeless providers, local, county and state governments, and others.
