ETS Member Poll - PLEASE RESPOND! - 10/17/06 05:12 PM
Wondering how many people here are emergency responders of any kind. Kindly reply to the poll below!
This information is being collected both because I'm interested and to stimulate some interest in putting some more ads in the Marketplace!

I used to be an Army medic and county EMT, but I haven't been current for over 10 years.

I am a SAR volunteer with some first-aid, survival, radio comms, crime scene preservation, crisis management, public relations and other kinds of training required to do the job well.
I'm definately not an EMT, but I believe you should add a poll option for SAR type of work because I think I might be a little more qualified than the average joe nonetheless. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The "other public service agency" selecion should fit that bill.

Under "Other" I would list the true geeks of the emergency services world... The Amateur Radio operators of RACES and ARES.

It looks like 'Other' needs a whole separate poll by itself! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Although I was a paramedic and worked in the back of an ambulance for about 15 years, I am no longer certified. My ambulance duties ended about 12 years ago - about the time the kids really started taking over my life! So I voted "Not a member of a public safety agency".

Sorry Martin,
I kind of screw up the numbers, I'm military, but a responder as well, so I'm just logging in as Mil.
Hi again all, sorry for my extended absence, I was....ummm....."out of town on an extended vacation" <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
See you kiddies in the bunker!

I would NOT put ARES/RACES under responder, and I'm speaking as an AEC, and ex-EC of my area (along with ex-RACES officer)
It's stressed over and over "WE ARE NOT FIRST RESPONDERS"
I put down "not a responder" - even if I carry Red Cross ID in addition to the above
We are folks who provide support TO repsonders - NOT responders

It's not my day job, but I've served almost a dozen volunteer disaster relief roles with: Red Cross, Salvation Army, ARES / RACES, county emergency management, UMCOR, and CERT. They're a nice healthy outlet for all that obsessive-compulsive survivalist thinking.
