TULSA, Okla. — Depending on the severity of Hurricane Isaac, EMSA could send a team of medics into the path of destruction. As Isaac’s eye bears down on the Gulf Coast medics are standing by, ready to grab every stretcher, syringe and case of bottled water they can.
In addition to answering calls across Green Country, about 20 medics and EMTs, all of them part of EMSA’s Emergency and Disaster Preparedness Division, are waiting on a call from FEMA.
“From the moment we get the call from FEMA, we’re expected to launch in about 90 minutes,” said Kelli Bruer, EMSA’s Director of Public Relations.
