Ken et al,

I am glad to say that the ark is almost done, and the animals are
lining up.  Better still is that there has been no loss of life, and
amazingly few people displaced.  As such, the trauma system has not been
called upon nor has the EOC been activated.   Property destruction
(street flooding and pavement heaves, mud slides, etc) has been fairly
substantial in the NW corner of the state, especially in Waterbury (how
ironic) where they received 7 inches of rain in just a few hours last
week!  Obviously our local and state govts will be asking for federal
assistance in the form of dollars, but we shall see just how much will
be forthcoming.  

Just the same, we seem to be faring well.  I will keep you posted
should anything bad occur and our system is, indeed, tested.

Best wishes,
Ron

Dr. Ron Gross:
 
At your recent trauma course, one of the subjects presented was
regarding  
disaster preparedness.  You had several persons who had been involved
in  
Katrina to talk at the course.    Katrina was about winds,  flooding,
agencies, 
organization, and responses.   
 
At your conference, the state of Connecticut was favorably cited as
being  
prepared and having a good integration of your trauma system personnel
with the  
governmental incident command people.  
 
NOW you are in the midst of the greatest rains and flooding in your
states  
history.  Tell us how things are working
