Thanks Jeff I was about to comment on the past in terms of pre 2002 as I knew Cooper had a great working relationship with state OEM etc. 

The failings as I said before are all over the map and those too can be very local in nature.

This is broadly not true. Perhaps the trauma system is not involved in your
states, but don't extrapolate this nationally. 

Health care, especially non-BT trauma care, can be an after thought if we
let it. State and county OEMs will tend to focus on police, fire and first
response issues. Public health may tend to forget about acute care
provisions, just assuming we'll be there because we're always there. 

However, I can say that we in NJ have a good realtionship between our Trauma
Center Council and state emergency planners. Not perfect, and a work in
progress, but good. You have to work at it.

Exactly. And with all the money spent preparing for terrorist events, none
of the planning and/or organization seems to involve trauma centers.

It does NOT EXIST, despite multiple requests.   It is all  LOCAL, if at all.
