Keith Curlin, Emergency Response Coordinator for the Regional Health Department gave members a copy of the health department’s 48-hour POD plan for review.  These PODs would be set up in the event of an outbreak or terrorist attach such as anthrax.  Citizens in the community would be able to be treated during a 48-hour period for such an event.  Keith noted that First Responders, their families and volunteers would be treated first before opening the POD to the public.  Members were asked to review the plan and make comments or suggestions.  Keith still needs to meet with Danny Jowers and Jerry Vastbinder in securing such a POD operation.
