I've been on alert for deployment with my Disaster Medical Assistance Team from Northwest Florida. We are part of the National Disaster Medical System.

I'll try to post updates if I can get permission and internet access. If not, I'll post an after action report. The Feds seem a little over-focused on secrecy and controlling the message and news for my taste lately, but I'll give it my best effort to keep our gang informed.

The only reason I see that would keep me from deploying is if the hurricane strikes my home area. The system recognizes that most team members have essential emergency duties in their civilian jobs in that case, and teams from other areas of the country will come here instead.
