Radio Emergency Associated Communications Teams
Team # 6123
Proudly Serving York County PA
August 4, 2007
York County REACT teamed up with the York Hospital Disaster Response Team (DRT) to help with the D.R.T. display area at the Wellness Fair. Team members got the Hospital Emergency Amateur Radio Service (H.E.A.R.S.) station up and running. Then we helped staff the new inflatable 20 bed surge unit. Team members answered questions as fair attendees came to see the D.R.T. display. Brenda, Unit 57 enjoyed showing the children how the DECON tent worked while also getting a refreshing cool down. Stan, Unit 56 and Dave Unit 61, stayed to help get everything rolled up, packed up and back on the trucks.

When the sun goes down, its time to turn on the porch light and join your neighbors for a night out of the house. Street and block parties, BBQs, community meetings with local law enforcement agencies and even flashlight walks are just a few of the things people can do to show solidarity againts crime in their neighborhoods. All York County REACTers were encouraged to make it a "night out".
In Shrewsbury, Stan Walters, Unit 56 went on a solitary flashlight walk. It was as if no one even knew it was NNO. Well, we will change that for next year. However, there was one item that came up. There was a parked car with its domelight on. Unit 56 went to the door and alerted the owner and saved them a DEAD BATTERY!
