LRMC official undergoing training
Joseph Lemmons, medical director of Lehigh Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Services, is participating in a National Disaster Medical System training from June 13-18 at the Center for Domestic Preparedness, operated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in Anniston, Alabama.
Lemmons also serves as the chief medical officer for FL-2 DMAT and SMRT-6.
The NDMS is a federally administered program that can support communities with medical care and mortuary assistance during disasters or public health emergencies, and is among the resources made available by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response.
NDMS teams consist of physicians, nurses, veterinary staff, paramedics, fatality management professionals, and experienced command and control staff. When an emergency overwhelms local and state resources, ASPR looks to the expertise within NDMS teams from across the country to assist in the response.
To help make the training as realistic as possible, NDMS members participate in hands-on mass casualty exercises in which actors and sophisticated patient simulators are the disaster survivors NDMS members triage and treat. During the weeklong training sessions, responders operate medical facilities similar to field hospitals and effectively manage medical needs arising from the disaster scenario.
