Jazzed to see over 90 EMS Chiefs/Supervisor/Medical Directors from across @STRAC EMS Committee. 55 trauma program directors upstairs, should have 140+ for Main Membership mtg at noon!

Incredible story at the STBT Hero’s in Arms celebration. Whole blood saved Doug Winckler after an MCC. Amazing loop of life that Dr. CJ Winckler, Doug’s son, has been instrumental in bringing WB to the @STRAC region.

Winter Storm has created difficulties for Blood Centers. PLEASE consider donating,, the life you save may be someone you know!

❄️As winter weather approaches, time is running out to prepare.

Ensure you have warm layers ready, keep an emergency go-kit available with supplies, and stay off the roads once precipitation begins.

continued to change and I’m chasing gates.

The E club front desk people need to be evaluated, I’m simply not sure how hard it is to figure out if someone is an admirals club member or not.

#Frustrated on a # of fronts.

[Eric Epley @eepley]

@AmericanAir super frustrating for the delay delays to DFW today, but understandable with the weather. What’s not understandable to be an admirals club member for over 10 years, and scan into the C club and D club but the E club people can’t figure it out as my flights have

[Eric Epley @eepley]

Unpacking ‘the stuff’ is critical.

Deeply appreciate those that have served in the armed forces and protected us.

Happy Memorial Day.

The last week has been pretty tough. I’m super proud of my STRAC family, we come together for each other every time.

Make sure to take care of yourself! Watch and take care of your partners at work, and at home.
EMS is incredibly rewarding profession but can take a toll.

[Eric Epley @eepley]

30 min to go before we kick off the final planning mtg for RMOC-Colorado! Honored to collaborate with USU NCDMPH and the fantastic group of healthcare, EMS & EM professionals from Denver and Colorado Springs on this NDMS Pilot. June Exercise is going to be great! @STRAC @NCDMPH

[Senator John Cornyn @JohnCornyn]

Thank you @POTUS for giving Texas such stellar representation on the FEMA Review Council with the appointments of Gov. @GregAbbott_TX & @chiefkidd. I’m proud that @TDEM leads the nation in emergency management.

[Greg Abbott @GregAbbott_TX]

Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for appointing me to the @FEMA Review Council.

As Governor of Texas, I’ve seen firsthand the critical role emergency management plays when disaster strikes.

I look forward to bringing Texas’ proven leadership to the national conversation.

[Seth W. Christensen @christensen2023]

Congrats, @ChiefKidd!👍🏼

@POTUS has tapped America’s leading emergency management professional to advise on this very important topic that helps America prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate against disasters.

Proud to see @TDEM has a seat at the table!

Whole blood is back—and it’s here to stay. New data @JSurgRes defines how much WB trauma centers actually need. No more guesswork. Time to build smarter, data-driven blood banks.
