🚁 TRAINING WITH AIR CARE 🚒

Yesterday, our A-Shift team had the opportunity to participate in joint training with Methodist AirCare 2, strengthening the skills and communication that matter most when every second counts.

We utilize Air Care when a patient’s condition or injuries requires a higher level of care or rapid transport to a trauma center or specialty facility. Having that resource available can make a critical difference in a patient’s outcome.

But successful patient care doesn’t stop with requesting Air Care. Trust and professionalism between our ground crews and flight team are essential. Training together allows us to understand each other’s capabilities, communicate effectively, and work as one team when the situation is at its most stressful.

At the end of the day, we want to ensure that our teamwork helps our patients find comfort in their scariest moments ❤️

We’re proud to train alongside our Air Care partners and grateful for the work they do for our communities!

When seconds matter, teamwork matters. 🚒🚁

🚨 FLOOD DEBRIS REMOVAL GUIDELINES 🚨

As our community continues to recover, please help us keep debris removal operations safe, efficient, and compliant with environmental and public safety requirements. Residents are encouraged to follow these guidelines when placing disaster-related debris for collection:

📍 Place debris at the curb or along the public right-of-way.

🚧Do not block roadways, sidewalks, fire hydrants, utility boxes, or access to your property.

🌳 Separate debris by type:
• 🌿 Vegetative debris — branches, limbs, leaves, and logs
• 🏠 Construction & demolition debris — drywall, lumber, carpet, furniture, and other building materials
• 🧊 Large appliances — refrigerators, washers, dryers, air conditioners, stoves, water heaters, and dishwashers
• 📺 Electronics — televisions, computers, stereos, phones, and similar items
• ⚠️ Hazardous household waste — paint, pesticides, batteries, oil, solvents, and certain cleaning products

❗ NEVER place debris on or near downed power lines. Do not touch, cut, or move debris that is in contact with utility lines. Keep debris away from utility poles, meters, and other structures to protect residents and collection crews.

🔥 NO BURNING DEBRIS: Open burning of storm debris is strictly prohibited in most disaster recovery areas. Burning debris can release toxic smoke, create uncontrolled fire hazards, damage air quality, and interfere with emergency response operations. It may also violate local, state, and federal environmental regulations and can result in fines or enforcement action.

🚫 NO ILLEGAL DUMPING: Dumping debris on vacant lots, roadways, waterways, private property, or unauthorized sites is prohibited. Illegal dumping creates serious public health risks, blocks drainage systems, attracts pests, and can delay FEMA-eligible cleanup operations. Always use approved collection sites or curbside pickup instructions provided by local officials.

🏡 Important: Debris removal from private property is generally the responsibility of the property owner. In certain circumstances, FEMA Public Assistance may allow debris removal from private property when the debris creates an immediate threat to public health and safety or affects the community at large. Eligibility is determined based on FEMA requirements and applicable local, state, and federal procedures.

📸 Help us document the recovery: Take photos of disaster-related damage and debris before it is removed.

🤝 Working together, we can help our community recover safely, efficiently, and responsibly.
