Incident Live Updates Running on OFA Toolbar
by Michael Finney - Wednesday, 13 May 2009, 04:44 PM
  Many have asked what happened to the Live Incident Updates running on the OFA Toolbar. We have reactivated this and you will once again see Incident Alerts returning. We don't want to interfere or clog up anyone's email so these will solely be delivered through the OFA Toolbar Alert System. If you would like to download the toolbar, you can do so through the main page of the OFA or by going to:

http://openfireacademy.communitytoolbars.com/exe

If you have an incident alert you would like posted, please email or text it to alerts@openfireacademy.org and it will get posted. In addition, if you have pictures or video, please send as well.

IMPORTANT NOTICE-Command Considerations for Terror Response Webinar
by Michael Finney - Friday, 8 May 2009, 01:40 AM
 

Under an integrated response plan, and the national incident management system, first-responders at the command level must be able to manage terror scenes. This means enabling effective rescue of the injured while assuring the security and safety of first-responders and receivers. This interactive seminar provides lessons learned from Israel, integrated into an American environment, to address such concerns as secondary threats, safe staging, ingress and egress, and adversary interdiction. Both the Israel Police and the Magen David Adom (Israel’s equivalent of the Red Cross) have been interdicting and responding to suicide bombing attacks for many years. The tactic of the adversary has adapted to the constant improvement in the counter terror techniques and countermeasures of the Israelis. Aaron Richman, former captain in the Israel National Police (Jerusalem Precinct), paramedic, and Homeland Security instructor, will present case studies on mass casualty terror events inside Israel. Richman will address attacks of which he commanded the response, as well as suicide bombings with strong lessons learned for first responders and receivers. Emergency services, managers, and the private sector can gain tools and knowledge to assist in designing policies and procedures for various responses to such incidents, as well as understanding as to the dangers associated with operations in such an environment.
