We would like to wish our very own Frank Luck a happy birthday! Frank is a Captain here at OCAD and is a vital part of our operations. Frank is active in our education programs, day-to-day operations, as well as administrative functions. He also brings to the table a wealth of Civil War knowledge, and not because he was there. Happy Birthday, Frank!

We have been busy making final preparations for this winter storm event. We have a contingency plan in place to combine resources with the Oregon County Sheriff's Office to allow us critical access to patients as we prepare for a worst case scenario. We will have both Thayer and Alton bases staffed with extra personnel, as well as off-duty personnel available to respond if needed. We want to remind everyone that our response times will be delayed as the weather deteriorates. If you do not have to get out in the next few days, please don't. We want you all to be safe as well as all of our crews. Thank you, as always, for your support.

Winter conditions may create hazardous travel and outdoor environments. Please take the following precautions:
• Dress in warm layers and limit exposure to cold temperatures
• Use caution when driving; reduce speed and allow extra travel time
• Be alert for icy sidewalks, roadways, and parking areas
• Keep an emergency kit and blankets available in your vehicle
• Check on vulnerable individuals, including elderly neighbors and those with medical needs

Please also be aware that as the weather deteriorates, ambulance response times will likely be delayed.

Staying informed and prepared helps reduce risk during winter weather. Please remain safe and exercise extreme caution.
