## Facts on the Ground
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* EMS/Fire Response and hospital response was extremely effective
|
|||
|
|
* On the ground response for emergency was lacking a plan
|
|||
|
|
* What ended up happening was swift and significant, but disorganized and no clear chain of command/response was organized
|
|||
|
|
* Everyone was asking “who is responsible?” but no one seemed to know
|
|||
|
|
* Recognition that this is a rare event for Choteau/Teton County - 13 residences being affected by disaster at once is unlikely to happen again in any of our lifetimes, but there are a few circumstances where it *could* happen again
|
|||
|
|
* Different circumstances - ice storm, disaster at other apartment complexes/hotels, car accidents could be future plans
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|||
|
|

|||
|
|
* Governmental - city/county source rather an individual politician, but we need to potential have a clear chain of communication and access control as need for specific emergency events
|
|||
|
|
* emergency website domain recommended for a single source. Can be redirected to a FB group or FB page or page on another website, doesn’t have to be a fully fledged website
|
|||
