In today's episode, we are going to be learning more about the important role the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Response System or HRMMRS plays in the Tidewater EMS Council. HRMMRS supports and enhances Hampton Roads public safety, hospitals, public health and emergency management response capabilities to manage mass casualty incidents. HRMMRS allows the region as a whole to collaborate and coordinate the support needed as one large unit rather than individual agencies trying to figure it out on their own. Joining us to talk more about the Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Response System are David Long the Executive Director of the Tidewater EMS Council and Stephanie Hackett the HRMMRS program coordinator.
