Ken Gikas (Region II Program Consultant) – Mr. Gikas stated they are rewriting the Emergency Preparedness Plan. He also said that the NIMS 100, 200 and 700 courses are required. Once completed, a copy of the certificate should be forwarded to him. He also supplied mailing labels to medical professionals (doctors are not on the list) with a letter asking to either join the Medical Reserve Corps or the local Board of Health. The Board does not have access to the database. Region II will be paying the cost for postage, etc.
