 If you have a scanner, you can easily keep digital copies of all your important documents. You can scan in copies of your homeowner's insurance, automobile insurance, appraisals, birth certificates or a marriage certificate. The documents you choose to scan should be personal and specific to you and your family. For example, if you travel frequently, you may want to copy your passport, driver's license, prescriptions, medical records and the customer service telephone numbers for your credit card companies. Storing these documents on a USB drive, more commonly called a jump drive or flash drive, is time-efficient and cost-effective. All of your important personal information can all be right in your pocket or purse. |
 The Yale New Haven Center for Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Response is pleased to announce that we have revised and updated our online course Introduction to Emergency Management for Health Care Disaster Volunteers (EM 109 HDV). This course is designed to help volunteers understand their role in providing continuity of care for patients in the event of an emergency or disaster. The Yale New Haven Center for Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Response has developed EM 109 HDV as an equivalent IS 700 (An Introduction to the National Incident Management System) NIMS course. EM 109 HDV also meets The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services requirements for emergency management training. We encourage all volunteers to keep their training current. Please look at our web page and on ct.train.org to find courses that are available. |
