Many of you know that I have been in the emergency management business for a long time, since 1999, to be exact.
I have responded to countless disasters of many different types, spent more hours than I have spent sleeping in some version of an emergency operation center or another and even have had to use my life safety training, such as CPR, on more than one occasion. I would say that emergency response is part of who I am, even my initials are AED.
However, though I have been in this field for half my life, I have always been the helper, NOT the one needing help.
