Disaster relief
Personal Point of View
- This article contains my personal thoughts / feelings
I have been watching news coverage of disasters for years. Maybe it is time for someone to act on the following.
Several years ago I was operations officer for San Jose Search and Rescue. I am not interested in relief bashing or reporting. I am interested in disaster relief. I have been espousing the following disaster plan for years. Why not prepare for emergencies instead of reacting to them?
- Disaster relief - How to prepare for, and cope with major calamities
- Drought relief - How to make two disasters into none
A Personal Note from Robin
- Excerpt from Robin Roberts' Technical resume
- Durrum Instruments 1972 to 1974
As the Director of Field Service Engineering, I effected installation of Amino-acid Analysis Equipment in the US and abroad; performed on site service & preventative maintenance; taught medical and research personnel how to prepare hemo-urological samples for analysis in hospital and research laboratory environments; taught classes on use and maintenance of the equipment. Worked with design engineers to improve speed and performance. As an outcome of my work at Durrum, the company received multiple patents, and the Nobel Peace Prize for Medical Research in the field of RNA/DNA genetic research and engineering.

I don't want this to become a heated or political debate about COVID-19. I am will just say, "Follow the advice of your doctor and/or the CDC. Practice personal quarantine if you can, social distancing if you can't. Wear PPE (Personal Protection Equipment). When you remove your face mask, wash your hands to remove anything that might be on the outside of your mask, which might have prevented "bugs" from entering your body.
