Today we had the ninth consortium meeting for the Port Of Chickasaw hosted by Gil Craig at Southern Ionics. Gil provided a great lunch before we welcomed Glenn Brannon from EMA, who spoke about forming a database of resources including equipment and instructors to prepare for incident control. Glenn touted our (Chickasaw's) Fire and Police force giving much credit to Chief Mike Reynolds and deemed them a first responder even though EMA has more equipment. The response time from Mobile would normally take about 40 minutes compared to our guys 2-3 minutes. We have scheduled the next meeting for May 13, 2011.
