SITREPS
-------
SITREPS distributes situation reports about developing disasters
and other disaster related and/or mitigation information. Situation
reports will be posted from the major responding agencies such as the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Disaster Medical
System (NDMS), US Geological Survey (USGS), Volunteers in Technical
Assistance (VITA), the American Red Cross (ARC), United Nations Dept
of Humanitarian Affairs (DHA) and others as they become available.
Situation reports are reposted from other sources on the Internet or
other electronic information sources and are unedited. Most of these
reports are provided automatically from their source agency.
SITREPS was designed to be a "one-stop shopping" sources for
disaster and emergency situation reports and hopefully will be an
invaluable tool for the emergency response community. All messages

DMATNEWS is directed toward members of the National Disaster Medical System
Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMAT). This list contains postings that
announce information relevent to NDMS or DMAT development. It is linked to
the National Disaster Medical System BBS and echo's all messages posted on
the NDMS BBS Network in the area by the same name. Postings to the DMATNEWS
list will find their way to the NDMS BBS Net and visa-versa. People who are
not members of a DMAT will prehaps find the messages interesting, but they
may be somewhat cryptic as they sometimes require a current knowlege of
NDMS/DMAT happenings. It is suggested that if you are not a DMAT team
member, that you don't subscribe to this list. All messages are archived
