First Responders Congress Commences on March 15 in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Canoga Park, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2008 -- US Nuclear Corp. (http://ct.emeraldmail-usa.com/rd/cts?d=7-2824-2621-0-30226-189832-0-0-0-22-2-23) today announced the launch of the First Responders Congress (http://ct.emeraldmail-usa.com/rd/cts?d=7-2824-2621-0-30226-189833-0-0-0-22-2-23), a conference and exposition dedicated to state, local and federal ?first responders? who defend our country and save lives. The First Responders Congress will help empower attendees with the latest first responder tools, training and resources.
Disasters can never be predicted, which is why preparation is so crucial. But what happens when the first on the scene of a terrorist attack is the Fire Department? Or when the police department arrives at a neighborhood leveled by a tornado, or Emergency Medical Technicians arrive first at a hazardous waste spill?
In all these scenarios, the first on the scene is not necessarily the organization with the best training for handling the situation. The First Responders Congress seeks to remedy this by uniting all local, state and federal professionals involved in emergency response and preparing them with strategies and training in serving others.
Scheduled for March 15 - 19, 2008 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Albuquerque, New Mexico (http://ct.emeraldmail-usa.com/rd/cts?d=7-2824-2621-0-30226-189834-0-0-0-22-2-23), the First Responders Congress aims to be a vital gathering for professionals who support national and local response to accidents, natural disasters and terrorist activities.
?The tragedy of Hurricane Katrina and the government?s inadequate response demonstrates a clear need for improved first response orchestration and tools among all levels of government and disaster response agencies,? commented Bob Goldstein, Principal, U.S. Nuclear Corp.
"The FRC is for anyone in emergency response," says Congress Chairman Tom Voss, "because the first responder could be an off-duty police officer or fireman who happens to be driving by, or even a good Samaritan who helps people keep away from an overturned tanker truck."
The FRC consists of speakers, seminars and exhibits focused on the latest techniques and technologies in emergency response. "Everything is oriented to what emergency responders need in order to do their jobs safely and more efficiently," added Voss.
Featured guests will consist of personnel from firefighting, police, military, homeland security, DOE and NRC, plus national, state, and local emergency response organizations, search and rescue, EMT, equipment and services suppliers, trainers, and other industry professionals. Topics for discussion and training include radiation protection, intelligent instruments and networking, and first response to hazardous airborne materials.

? Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

Why Not Buy Mexican Auto Insurance In Mexico?
It?s a bad idea for US and Canadian tourists to wait to buy Mexican Auto Insurance at the border or inside Mexico. Most people plan their vacation, then forget all about insurance until they cross the border... then they proceed to buy insurance at the nearest seller. This is the equivalent of buying your groceries at a convenience store: no matter how well you shop, you're going to pay too much, and your options will be limited, too. You don't even have the option of researching those insurers that vend at the border, and who knows how strong their grasp of the English language is going to be. It?s better to buy it before you leave.
