00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:41.000
, LIMITED ACCESS

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.000
 PROVISION, THE FT

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.000
6, IT IS UNDER THE MASK

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.000

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.000

 SILC THAT ARE STATE FUNDED AND

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.000
 PART OF THAT MONEY WAS USED IN

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.000
ITIALLY TO SUPPORT A PROGRAM SPECIALIST

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.000

ED THAT PROGRAM.  IT WAS SUCCESSFUL, AND

00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:00.000
 WE WERE ABLE TO SELL IT THE NEXT YEAR

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.000
 TO OUR STATE LEGISLATURE AND GET FUNDING

00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.000
 FOR ABOUT 95,000 DOLLARS ANNUALLY

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.000

ERACY AND ALSO EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS.   

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.000
  THAT WAS PRETTY EXCITING FOR US. 

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.000
 WE ARE WITHIN THE STATE SO WE ARE A STATE

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.000
 ENTITY.  WE HAVE TO GO TO THE

00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.000
 LEGISLATURE EVERY YEAR FOR AN APPROPRIATION

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.000
.  WE ARE NOT WITHIN OR UNDER ANY

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.000
 OTHER STATE AGENCY.  WE'RE NOT ATTACHED TO HEALTH

00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.000
 AND WELL PP

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.000
FARE OR ATTACHED TO VOCATIONAL

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.000
 REHABILITATION.  WE'RE OUR OWN STAND

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:51.000
 ALONE.  EVERY CAREER WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING FUNDING FOR

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.000
 THIS PROGRAM.  WE KNEW WE HAD TO

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.000
 VERY QUICKLY IN OUR PILOT AND ESPECIALLY

00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000
 IN OUR FIRST FEW YEARS OF ASKING FOR FUNDING

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.000
, WE KNEW WE HAD TO BE VISIBLE ACROSS

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:08.000
 THE STATE.  WE KNEW THAT OUR

00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.000
 LEGISLATURES NEEDED TO KNOW WHO WE WERE AND WHAT WE'RE DOING

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.000
, AND COMMUNITIES NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT WE WERE

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.000
 DOING.  AND HOW WE WERE DOING IT.    THAT PUT

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:21.000
 A LOT OF PRESSURE ON US TO MAKE SURE THAT

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.000
 AT LEAST WHEN WE MADE A MISTAKE

00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:27.000
 WE TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT AND FIXED IT QUICK

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:31.000
LY.  SO IT REQUIRED A LOT OF

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.000
 REALLY QUICK THINKING AT TIMES.  E

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:38.000
SPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY RIGHT, BECAUSE THAT'S THE

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.000
 LAST TIME YOU WANT TO SCREW UP WHEN YOU DO, YOU NEED TO

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.000
 FIX IT QUICKLY.    SO

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.000
 EARLY ON IN OUR PROCESS

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.000
 WE KNEW THAT JUST LIKE ABOUT EVERY OTHER THING

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.000
 THAT WE DO WE NEEDED TO BUILD

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.000
 RELATIONSHIPS.  WE NEEDED TO BUILD

00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.000
 RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE LEGISLATURE

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.000
 WHO PROVIDED FUNDING FOR OUR ACTIVITIES.  WE NEEDED TO

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.000
 BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH EMERGENCY MANAGER

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.000

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.000

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:21.000
 ONE THING WE LEARNED QUICKLY IN EMERGENCY

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.000
 RESPONSE AND PREPAREDNESS AND MITIGATION

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.000
 ACTIVITIES IS THAT WE HAD TO LEARN THAT THERE ACTUALLY IS

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:32.000
 SOMETHING THAT HAS MORE ACRONYMS THAN THE DISABILITY

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:35.000
 COMMUNITY.  THERE ARE LOTS OF ALPHABETS

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.000
 TO

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:42.000
 MEMORIZE.    SO WE NEEDED TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:46.000
 THESE FOLKS.  HOW DO WE DO THAT?    WELL, WE DO

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:49.000
 THAT BY GOING OUT AND MEETING WITH THEM INDIVIDUALLY, CALL

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.000
ING AND GETTING APPOINTMENTS. 

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.000
 ATTENDING THEIR CONFERENCES, OFFERING

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.000
 TO PROVIDE WORKSHOPS AND INFORMATION AT THEIR CON

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.000
FERENCES.  INITIALLY WE KIND

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:06.000
 OF HAD TO PUSH OUR WAY IN

00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.000
 FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE AN ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY EMERGENCY

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:12.000
 MANAGERS.  THEY HAVE A CONFERENCE EVERY YEAR.  THE FIRST

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:15.000
 YEAR WE KIND OF HAD TO PUSH OUR WAY IN TO GET ROOM AT

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.000
 THE TABLE AND TO HAVE LIKE YOU KNOW, A VENDOR BOOTH

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.000
 AT THEIR CONFERENCE. 

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:25.000
   IN ALL THE YEARS FOLLOWING THAT

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.000
 FIRST YEAR THE PROGRAM SPECIALIST WE WORK

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.000
ED WITH HE'S FROM

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.000
 RURAL IDAHO SO HE REALLY UNDERSTOOD

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.000
 THE COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE.  HE DID A GREAT JOB OF BUILDING

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.000
 THOSE RELATIONSHIPS SO EVERY YEAR

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.000
 SINCE WE HAVE BEEN INVITED TO

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:48.000
 COME BACK TO PRESENT WORKSHOPS

00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:51.000
 AND GIVE THEM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:54.000
 THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY AND THE RESOURCES THAT

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.000

 WE ALSO BEGAN

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.000
 SOMETHING CALLED THE IDAHO IN

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:14.000
CLUSIVE EMERGENCY COALITION.  IIEC IS HOW WE

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:18.000
 REFER TO IT.  WE OFTEN CALL IT THE

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.000
 EKE BECAUSE WHEN THERE IS A DISASTER THERE IS SLOTS OF WORDS YOU

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.000
 LOT OF WORDS YOU WANT TO SAY BUT WE GO

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:29.000
 ON WITH EEK.    SO THAT PROJECT WE BEGAN MEETING

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.000
 I THINK EVERY OTHER MONTH.  IT INCLUDES PEOPLE

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:36.000
 WITH DISABILITIES, SOME

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.000
 EMERGENCY MANAGERS,

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.000

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:46.000

 WE'VE BEEN REALLY ACTIVE IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.000
 LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE AS WELL

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:03.000

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.000
 WORK THAT WE'RE DOING.  WE'VE DONE SOME VACCINE

 BRING IN FOLKS THAT HAVE DISABILITIES TO DO THE

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:32.000
 TRAINING BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:36.000
 THE BEST EXPERTS IN WHAT WE NEED.    WE

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.000

 POLITICALLY CORRECTLY TO JUST HELP PEOPLE FEEL COMFORT

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:52.000
ABLE LEARNING MORE.    THERE ARE

00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.000
 DEFINITELY TIMES WE'VE HAD TO CALL OUT VARIOUS PART

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:58.000
NERS AND SAY YOU KNOW, THIS JUST ISN'T ACCESSIBLE

00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.000
.  WHAT YOU'RE TRYING

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.000
 TO DO ISN'T ACCEPTABLE BUT FOR THE

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.000
 MOST PART WE BUILT RELATIONSHIPS WHERE THEY'RE LISTENING AND WE DON'T

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.000
 HAVE TO CALL THEM OUT RIGHT IN THE

00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.000
 MIDDLE OF THE CRISIS.  WE CAN HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AHEAD OF TIME. 

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.000
   SO WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY. 

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.000
   WE'VE KIND OF BECOME THE GO

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.000
-TO NOW FOR FOLKS AROUND THE STATE EMERGENCY

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.000
 MANAGERS WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.000
 -- WE DON'T DO A LOT OF SHELTERING IN IDAHO, BUT

00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.000
 WE DO HAVE FIRES AND WE HAVE FLOODING AFTER FIRE

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.000
S.  AND HELPING THEM CONNECT WITH THE

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.000
 VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS WHO CAN GET THING

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.000
S IN A SHELTER OR CAN HELP FOLKS GET

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.000
 THINGS LIKE SHOWER BENCHES IF THEY'RE

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.000
 HAVING TO STAY WITH FAMILY,

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.000
 OR EVEN CONNECT WITH (INAUDIBLE). 

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.000
   SO WE'VE PARTICIPATED IN THE LAST YEAR LIKE I

00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.000
 SAID, IN VACCINE CLINICS

00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:05.000

 TO MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT ESPECIALLY

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.000
 IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS WE'VE PARTICIPATED

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.000
 ON THE TEAM THAT DEVELOPED THE CRISIS STANDARDS OF CARE

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.000
 FOR OUR STATE.   

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.000
  AND A VARIETY OF OTHER TYPES OF

00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.000
 EDUCATION.  LIKE I SAID,

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:31.000
 IT'S ALL BEEN ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS.  REALLY

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.000
 MAKING SURE PEOPLE CAN TRUST US AND WE CAN TRUST THEM AND

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:38.000
 THAT WORKS TO VARYING DEGREES ACROSS THE STATE, BUT

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.000
 THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT BETTER IS TO KEEP AT IT. 

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.000

 BLUE SHIRT AND BOOKCASE

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:16.000
 BEHIND ME.  ALSO WEARING GLASSES.    I WANT

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.000
 TO THANK MELLIE FOR

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.000
 REACHING OUT TO ME.  EXATIVE DIRECTOR OF FLORIDA INDEPENDENT

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:25.000
 LIVING COUNCIL AND OF COURSE FLORIDA HAS A LOT

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.000
 OF OPPORTUNITIES TO

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.000
 ADDRESS SOME OF THE SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES AND

00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.000
 BARRIERS HERE DURING AN

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.000
 EMERGENCY AND SO I'M GONNA JUST QUICK

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.000
LY GO TO

00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.000
 WHERE WE STARTED.  I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE A FEW

00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.000
 YEARS BUT I'VE BEEN IN THE IL NETWORK FOR A VERY LONG TIME

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.000
.    SO DURING AFTER

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.000
 HURRICANE MICHAEL CAME THROUGH HERE I THINK IN 20

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.000
18, AND IT LITRARILY WAS

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:02.000
 A CAT 5 DIRECT HIT TO

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:05.000
 PANAMA CITY. 

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.000
 WHEN WE WENT TO BED IT WAS A CAT 3

00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.000
 AND USUALLY THEY JUST STAY THERE AND WHEN WE WOKE

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.000
 UP IT WAS THE CAT 5.    THEREFORE

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.000
, YOU KNOW, IT WAS

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.000
 DEVASTATING.  WE WEREN'T REALLY EXPECTING IT AND PEOPLE HAD

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.000
 KIND OF LOWERED THE --

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.000
 WE HAVE HURRICANES ALL THE TIME THROUGH HURRICANE

00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:31.000
 SEASON SO THAT CAT 5 HAS STILL

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.000
 REALLY HAS FLATTENED MOST OF

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.000
 LIKE MEXICO BEACH IS GONE.  THAT AREA AND PA

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.000
NAMA CITY WAS A DIRECT HIT.  OUR

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:44.000
 CIL HIT AND THE VR OFFICES

00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.000
 WERE HIT.    AND SO WE COULDN'T EVEN

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.000
 REACH OUR CIL IN PANAMA

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:53.000
 CITY TO FIND OUT IF THEY WERE

00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.000
 OKAY AND HOW WE COULD HELP.    SO WE GOT IN

00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.000
 A SATELLITE PHONE BECAUSE DURING

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.000
 EMERGENCIES AT THIS ORGANIZATION THIS

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:09.000
 (INAUDIBLE) WE HOLD DAILY CALLS.  MORNING CALLS AND WE

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.000
 REGROUP TO SEE WHERE PEOPLE WERE MOVED TO

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.000
, DME SNEEDZ

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:19.000
 NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO AND HOW THE OTHER CILS

00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.000
 CAN ASSIST THE IMPACKED AREA

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.000
.  VERY PROUD OF IL NETWORK HERE.  WHEN WE GOT

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.000
 THE SATELLITE PHONE IN THERE WE FOUND OUT JUST

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.000
 HOW IN DIRE THE NEED WAS AND WE WORKED SOMETIMES WITH

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:35.000
 OUR NATIONAL PARTNERS AND

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:39.000
 THEN BUT THEN REALLY GOT REACHED OUT TO

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:42.000
 THE CONSUMERS AND

00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:45.000
 THE FILC ITSELF DIDN'T

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.000
 REACH OUT TO THE CONSUMERS BUT THE IL NETWORK AS A KIND

00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.000
 OF FAMILY DID.  SO OTHER CI

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:55.000
LS WOULD PICK UP THE SLACK AND MAKE SURE THAT SERVE

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:58.000
 SERVICES WERE CONTINUED IN THAT AREA.    SO

00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.000
 I WAS USING AS THE EX

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:05.000
ATIVE DIRECTOR OF C

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.000
IL THAT TEMPLATE

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.000
 GIVEN TO US FROM ACL, YOU

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.000
 CAN HOLD THESE COMMUNICATION PLATSFORMS

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:17.000
 SO WE TOOK THAT TO HEART

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.000
.  WE HOLD THE PLATFORMS AND

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.000
 MADE SURE THE SILC THAT

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.000
 WAS HIT HAD A PLATFORM.  WE NOW HAVE

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.000
 DEVELOPED SINCE THEN COMMUNICATION BOXES THAT GO OUT TO S

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.000
ILCS WE HAVE IN OUR OFFICE AND THOSE

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.000
 COMMUNICATION BOXES INCLUDE ITEMS THAT WERE

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.000
 NECESSARY DURING HER

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:43.000
 HURRICANE MICHAEL THEY DIDN'T HAVE. 

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.000
 SOME BACKUP BATTERIES, SATELLITE

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:51.000
 PHONE, AND SOME OTHER PIECES OF

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:54.000
 COMMUNICATION JUST TO ASSIST IN COMMUNICATIONS

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:57.000
 DURING AN EVENT LIKE THIS.    ONE THING THAT WE

00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:01.000
 LEARNED IS THERE IS SO MUCH TRAUMA EVEN

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.000
 WITH THE CIL STAFF SOMETIMES THAT AND THERE IS

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.000
 SO MUCH -- THEY

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.000
 ARE ALSO IN SHOCK BECAUSE THEIR COMMUNITY WAS

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:13.000
 HIT AND SOME PEOPLE

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.000
 HAVE LOST YOU KNOW, OUR EXATIVE

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:20.000
 DIRECTOR DIDN'T HAVE A ROOF ON HIS HOME.  AND

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:23.000
 THEY HAVE THEIR OWN FAMILY TRAUMA.  SO WEAL

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.000
 WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNICATION AND

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.000
 EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WAS AS SIMPLE AS

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.000
 POSSIBLE.  WE DIDN'T WANT -- DIDN'T GET

00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.000
 INTO A LOT OF DETAILS.  A LOT OF THIS STUFF HAS TO

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:40.000
 BE SET UP PRIOR TO DEALING WITH A STORM OR SOME TYPE

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.000
 OF DISASTER LIKE THE

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:46.000
 TERRIBLE FIRES OUT WEST.    SO WE REALLY KIND OF WORKED TOGETHER

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.000
.  OTHER CILS WILL

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.000
 SHARE CONSUMER INFORMATION TO ENSURE THAT THOSE CON

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.000
SUMERS ARE CHECKED ON.  SO THEY HAVE PART

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.000
NER CILS THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH.    AND

00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.000
 THAT'S JUST TO MAKE SURE THE CONSUMER

00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.000
 IS OKAY.  DME EQUIPMENT WAS SENT IN AND

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:08.000
 WE JUST GOT CREATIVE AND WORKED TOGETHER

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.000
.  BUT HURRICANE MICHAEL REALLY SET THE

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:15.000
 STANDARD, SET THE BAR OF ENSUREING THAT WE

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.000
 HAD PARTNERS, MOU

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.000
S OR CONTRACTS WITH INTERPRETER SERVICES

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.000
 YOU KNEW WHO YOUR ADA COORDINATOR

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.000

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.000
 LIVING TO ENSURE THERE WAS COMMUNICATION AND IT ALSO

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:42.000
 ALLOWED A SEAT IN THE STATE EOC

00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:45.000
 TO BE WHERE THE SILC HAS

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.000
 A SEAT THERE.    SO WE HAVE A SEAT THERE THAT WE CAN GET CALL

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.000
ED IN TO DURING A STATE OF EMERGENCY

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.000
 TO ENSURE THERE IS EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION THROUGHOUT THE STATE.    ON

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:58.000
 THE BIG BOARD THAT GIS

00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.000

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:15.000
 PROGRAMMATIC SUPPORT BUT WE'RE ABLE TO HOST THE

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.000
 DAILY CALLS DURING AN EMERGENCY

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.000
 IN THE STATE EOC SO WE CAME OFF OF

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.000
 THE DEFENSE AND WENT ON THE OFFENSE.    IT WAS A BIG

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:29.000
 DEAL BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO HANDLE THINGS BEFORE

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.000
 IT GOT DOWN TO -- THERE IS A PERSON SITTING

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:36.000
 ON THE STREET YOU KNOW, IT ALLOWS

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:39.000
 US TO ADDRESS THINGS ON THE FRONT END WHICH WAS REALLY IMPORTANT

00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:42.000

00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.000
TUALLY PUT IN THE SPILL THE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.000
 RESPONSE AND RECOVERY BECAUSE WHEN WE DID AN ANALYSIS OF

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:06.000
 HURRICANE MICHAEL WE SAID WHAT DO WE DO DURING

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:09.000

00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:43.000
   >>  HI, THERE, IT'S JIM. 

00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:46.000
   SO HI AGAIN. 

00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:49.000
 YES, IT'S JIM HOUSE HERE.  AND

00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:53.000
 I AM SO SORRY, I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF

00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:56.000
 WAY BACK WHEN I WAS TALKING. 

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:59.000
   I AM A WHITE MALE WITH SHORT BROWN

00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:03.000
 HAIR AND WEARING GLASSES.  I HAVE A BLUE BACK

00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:06.000
GROUND AND

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:10.000
 SO FOR THE CIEP,

00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:13.000
 THE REASON I TALKED ABOUT THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE A

00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:17.000
 GROUP OF PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE STATE

00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:20.000
 AND WE BRING OUR SUGGESTIONS

00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:24.000
, WE BRING IN EXPERTS WHO ARE EX

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:27.000
PERTS IN THEIR FIELD

00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:30.000
 FROM THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT.  THEY DO

00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.000
 RELY ON US AND SO WE ARE

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:39.000
 INVOLVED WITH --

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:46.000
 IT'S CASITA. 

00:38:46.000 --> 00:38:49.000
 IT IS ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL TRAINING

00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:53.000
 AND THAT HAPPENS ANNUALLY.  IT WILL BE COMING

00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:56.000
 UP IN JUNE AND THAT

00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:01.000
 REALLY FOCUSES ON TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. 

00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:04.000
 THE TRANPORTATION

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.000
, AND MASK CARE

00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:11.000
 MASS CARE.  WITH THAT TRANSPORTATION

00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:14.000
 WE LOOK TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY IM

00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.000
PACTS ON EVACUATING

00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:21.000
 FROM ANY DANGER, WHICH ROADS WOULD BE

00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:24.000
 OPEN, WHICH ARE CLOSED

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:27.000
.    FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE,

00:39:27.000 --> 00:39:30.000
 A 9.0 EARTHQUAKE

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:33.000
, AND THEN REGARDING THE MASS

00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:37.000
 CARE, WE FOCUS

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.000
 ON THE ACCESS THAT IS

00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.000
 NEEDED BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE

00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:47.000
 ARE IN NEED AND SO PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIS

00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:51.000
ABILITIES WE HELP THEM FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE

00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:55.000
 END.   

00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:04.000
  SO BACK TO BETH.    >> 

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:08.000
 THIS IS MEL.  I HAVE A QUESTION FOR BETH. 

00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:12.000
 I KNOW I'M ON THE PANEL BUT I'M

00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:15.000
 GONNA ASK ANYWAY.    >>  YOU COULD HAVE TEXTED ME

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:18.000
.    >>  NO, I WOULD RATHER ASK HERE.    >> 

00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:22.000
 OKAY.    >>  YOU KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.000
 WE HAVE TROUBLE WITH IN OUR STATE -- SO

00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:28.000
 WE DON'T HAVE DISASTERS ON THE SCALE THAT YOU HAVE.  WE

00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:31.000
 HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT, BUT

00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:35.000
 IT'S LIKE ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT IS OUT THERE

00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:38.000
 GONNA HAPPEN SOME DAY. 

00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:43.000
 AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:49.000
 WE STRUGGLE WITH SOMEWHAT HERE IS

00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:52.000
 SO MUCH OF OUR LIVES ARE LIFE AND DEATH FOR

00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.000
 PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ANYWAY, RIGHT, WITHOUT A

00:40:55.000 --> 00:40:59.000
 DISASTER.  LIKE WE'RE ONE

00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:03.000
 NOT GETTING A MEDICATION OR ONE NOT GETTING TO THE

00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:06.000
 STORE OR ONE BAD TRANSFER AWAY FROM A PERSON

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.000
AL DISASTER.   

00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:12.000
  DO YOU HAVE ANY LIKE

00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:15.000
 SUGGESTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN STATE THAT

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.000
S THAT DON'T HAVE THE CONSTANT

00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:22.000
 THREAT OF A LARGE SCALE DISASTER

00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:25.000
?    HOW TO REALLY

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.000
 MOTIVATE TO WORK TOGETHER AND UNDERSTAND THE

00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:32.000
 IMPORTANCE OF THE WORK?    >>  OKAY

00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:35.000
.  SO THIS REALLY GOES IN THAT AREA

00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:38.000
 I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING IN.  I'M ALMOST

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.000
 A BILL COLLECTOR.  I WILL JUST GO

00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.000
 AND -- I'M ABOUT ENGAGING OUR C

00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:48.000
ILS.  I KNOW THAT IF OUR C

00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:51.000
ILS ARE ENGAGED AND

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:54.000
 I CAN CONVEY MY BELIEF IN THEM BECAUSE I WORKED

00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:57.000
 AT A CIL, I LOVE MY CILS. 

00:41:57.000 --> 00:42:00.000
 AND I AM VERY -- I'M ONE

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:04.000
 OF THOSE SIL

00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:07.000
C EXATIVE DIRECTORS -- I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS

00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.000
.  THAT CAN PUT -- I'LL JUST SAY SOMEWHAT

00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:13.000
 WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID.    THAT HAS

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:16.000
 SERVED ME WELL BECAUSE WE DON'T -- I DON'T GO INTO THE WEEDS

00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:20.000
 WITH ANYBODY.  SO I'M NOT INTERESTED

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:23.000
 IN GOING INTO THE WEEDS

00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:26.000
.  I'M VERY MUCH A PERSON THAT WANTS TO JUST GET

00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:29.000
 IT DONE FOR THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THAT CON

00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:33.000
SUMER HAS A CONNECTION AND SO I AM ALWAYS REDIRECT

00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:36.000
ING TO THAT. 

00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:39.000
 THE OTHER THING I THINK IS A CHALLENGE FOR A SIL

00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:42.000
C IS YOUR STATE MRAN

00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:45.000
 PLAN HAS TO BE RELEVANT.  WHEN I STARTED

00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:48.000
 WORKING HERE I USED TO PUT IN THE -- I USED TO

00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:52.000
 DO MY STATE PLAN

00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:55.000
 SURVEY AND I HAD TO DO THE REPORTING ON THIS

00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:58.000
.  I COULDN'T STAND THE STATE PLAN.  IT DIDN'T MAKE

00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:01.000
 SENSE.  I COULDN'T SELL IT, AND TO

00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:05.000
 ME I DIDN'T THE UNDERSTAND THE QUESTIONS OR ANSWER

00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:08.000
S LIKE WHY IS THIS RELEVANT?    SO

00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:11.000
 FOR ME IT IS MOVING PAST

00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:14.000
 THE DIRECTORS AND ENGAGING SOME OF THEIR STAFF

00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:17.000
 AND FRONTLINE PEOPLE, UNDERSTANDING A LITTLE BIT

00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:21.000
 MORE ABOUT WHAT IS RELEVANT TO THEM, AND

00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:24.000
 THEN REALLY WORKING

00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:28.000
 TOWARDS THAT AS A

00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:31.000
 BASIS.  YES, THE BIG STORMS

00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.000
 CAUSED US TO REALLY REFLECT BUT I FELT LIKE

00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:37.000
 IT WAS WHY WE WERE ABLE TO DO SO MUCH DURING CO

00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.000
VID BECAUSE THIS WAS LIKE BLUE SKIES TO US

00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:44.000
 ALMOST.  WE HAVE ALREADY KIND OF GONE THROUGH

00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:47.000
 A LOT OF THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE

00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:50.000
 THINGS THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN.  BUT BY HAVING WEEK

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:53.000
LY CALLS WITH THE CILS AND IT

00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:56.000
 YOU DON'T SHOW UP THAT IS FINE.  BUT IF YOU CONTINUEIOUSLY DON'T

00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:59.000
 SHOW UP THERE IS GOOD INFORMATION THAT GOES OUT THERE I'M

00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:02.000
 NOT GONNA SPOON FEED IT TO YOU.  THE IS

00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:05.000
IS GOOD INFORMATION, PARTICIPATE, BE INVOLVED AND LET'S

00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:08.000
 COLLABORATE.  I REALLY HOLD

00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:11.000
 THOSE DIRECTORS ACCOUNTABLE IF THEY DON'T JOIN STH

00:44:11.000 --> 00:44:14.000
 THE CALLS I CALL THEM.  IF THEY DON'T SHOW UP

00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:17.000
 TO SOMETHING I'M REACHING OUT TO THEM.  WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOW

00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:20.000
 UP?  I WANT TO KNOW MORE.  WHAT DO WE NEED TO

00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:24.000
 DO TO BE RELEVANT TO

00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:27.000
 YOU?  SO I'M JUST THAT KIND OF TYPE OF PERSON AND I THINK

00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.000
 IT HAS SERVED ME WELL.  YOU REALLY HAVE TO

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.000
 CONNECT WITH THE CIL

00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:37.000
S.  WE HOLD WEEKLY MEETINGS. 

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.000
 BECAUSE WE SHARE RELEVANT DATA, WE COMPARE -- WE LET

00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.000
 THE CILS TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:46.000
 WHAT WORKS FOR THEM.  WHAT DID YOU SPEND YOUR CARES ACT MONEY

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:50.000
 ON?  THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.  LET'S

00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:54.000
 YOU KNOW, WHAT ABOUT THIS

00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:57.000
 INAND THE CILS WERE COMPARING THE

00:44:57.000 --> 00:45:00.000
 SERVICES THEY WERE PROVIDING DURING THAT TIME AND WHAT

00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.000
 THEY WERE USING THAT CARES ACT DOLLARS

00:45:03.000 --> 00:45:07.000
 AND SOME OF IT OTHER ITEMS ON.    SO THERE IS A WAY TO

00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:11.000
 COLLABORATE AND IF YOU CAN JUST GET EVERYONE TO THE TABLE

00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:14.000
 THAT'S THE REALLY IMPORTANT THING AND

00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:17.000
 YOU HAVE TO DEMAND

00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:20.000
 EVERYONE COMES TO THE TABLE A LITTLE BIT AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE

00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:23.000
 NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT.  BUT WE CAN

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:26.000
 SAY HEY, YOU HAVE TO BE AT THE TABLE. 

00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:31.000
 YOU COULD BRING YOU KNOW, A LOT OF

00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:34.000
 EXPERTISE.  GO TO STAFF AND HOST

00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:37.000
 THINGS THEIR STAFF ARE DOING.  JUST REALLY

00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:40.000
 GET EVERYBODY CONNECTED.  IT IS AN

00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:43.000
 AWKWARD WAY TO ANSWER

00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:46.000
 THAT QUESTION, MEL, BUT THAT'S I THINK THE BEST

00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:50.000
 I CAN DO.    >>  THANK YOU, BETH. 

00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:54.000
   >> 

00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:57.000
 THIS IS DAVID. 

00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:01.000
 YOU MENTIONED THE CRISIS STANDARD OF CARE YOU WERE THE

00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:04.000
 ENGAGED IN. 

00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:07.000
 IT IS OPEN ENDED QUESTION I KWEGSZ

00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:10.000
 QUESTION.  WHAT KIND OF THINGS

00:46:10.000 --> 00:46:13.000
 DID YOU DO?  CAN YOU GIVE MORE INFORMATION ON THE CRISIS

00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:16.000
 STANDARD OF CARE YOU GUYS WERE INVOLVED IN?    >> 

00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:20.000
 YEAH, SO THIS IS MEL.   

00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:25.000
  SO WHEN THE STATE

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:28.000
 -- WHEN COVID FIRST HIT AND THE STATE

00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:32.000
 PUT TOGETHER WHAT THEY CALL THE

00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:35.000
 STATE OF IDAHO DISASTER

00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.000
 MEDICAL AD

00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:42.000
VISERY COMMITTEE, THEY PULLED THAT TEAM

00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:45.000
 TOGETHER AND IT IS ABOUT 30

00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:48.000
 DOCTORS AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL

00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:51.000
S.  WE KNEW RIGHT

00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:55.000
 FROM THE GET GO THAT IF WE

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:58.000
 EVER WENT INTO CRISIS STANDARD

00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:01.000
S THERE WERE JUST A LOT OF THINGS WE WOULD BE

00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:04.000
 EXCLUDED FROM WHEN IT

00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:07.000
 CAME TO MEDICAL CARE.    SO I STARTED PUSH

00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:11.000
ING EVERY PERSON I KNEW BUT OUR

00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:14.000
 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND WELFARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH

00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:17.000
 SAYING HEY, YOU NEED TO HAVE A LAWYER ON THIS TEAM

00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:21.000
 FROM THE DISABILITY RIGHTS COMMUNITY.  AND I PUT SOME

00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:24.000
 NAMES FOR

00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:27.000
WARD FROM OUR STATE PROTECTION AND ADVOCACY

00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:31.000
 SYSTEM, ACLU IDAHO

00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:34.000
, AND PUSHED AND PUSHED AND PUSHED I WAS

00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.000
 REALLY ANNOYING.  LIKE MULTIPLE TIMES EVERY HOUR

00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:40.000
 OF THE DAY FOR ABOUT A WEEK. 

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:44.000
 AND IN THE MEANTIME I WAS CONTACT THG P

00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:47.000
CTING THE PNA AND

00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:51.000
 OTHERS AND SAYING YOU NEED TO BE MAKING THIS NOISE TOO. 

00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.000
 LONG STORY SHORT,

00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:57.000
 INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET THEM TO DO,

00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:00.000
 THEY PUT ME ON THE TEAM.  I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY.  I WORK FOR THE

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:03.000
 STATE PNA FOR 13 YEARS BUT I'M MY

00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:06.000
 NO MEANS AN ATTORNEY OR

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:09.000
 EVEN CLOSE.  AND I DON'T WANT TO

00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:13.000
 BE ONE.  BUT ANYWAY, SO I WAS

00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.000
 THE PERSON FROM THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY

00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:19.000
 IN

00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:23.000
ITIALLY IT WAS DIFFICULT WAS I DON'T HAVE

00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:26.000
 A MEDICAL BACKGROUND EITHER

00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:29.000
 AND SO THE INFORMATION THAT WAS BEING PUT OUT

00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:32.000
 I READ A LOT.  I

00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:36.000
 CONNECTED WITH THE CENTER

00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.000
 AND PUBLIC POLICY TO GET HELP GOING

00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:43.000
 THROUGH THE CRISIS STANDARDS. 

00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:46.000
 AND OVER TIME INITIALLY WHEN

00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:49.000
 I WOULD COMMENTS AND I

00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.000
 HAD TO THROW MYSELF OUT THERE AND ANYBODY WHO KNOWS

00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:56.000
 ME KNOWS I'M PRETTY COMFORTABLE DOING THAT.  YOU KNOW,

00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:59.000
 WHEN I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, I QUESTIONED IT. 

00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.000
 WHEN I DISAGREED I SAID SO.  I GAVE

00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:05.000
 THEM REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF YOU KNOW

00:49:05.000 --> 00:49:09.000
, FRIENDS WHO

00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:13.000
 ARE ON VENTS OR USE

00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:16.000
 BIPAP, THE CONCERNS ABOUT GOING TO

00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:19.000
 THE HOSPITAL.  INITIALLY THOSE CONCERNS WERE AROUND

00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:22.000
 OUR VENTILATORS BEING TAKEN FROM

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:25.000
 PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WHO CAME IN

00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:29.000
 WITH THEIR OWN?    SO OVER THE COURSE OF

00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:32.000
 TIME IT WAS ABLE TO HAVE OUR INPUT AND

00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:36.000
 REALLY BUILD RELATIONSHIPS.  IT IS ACTUALLY

00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:39.000
 I THINK RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE GONNA SERVE US WELL

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:42.000
 GOING INTO THE FUTURE WITH THESE

00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:46.000
 MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:49.000
 THAT RUN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS AND ICU

00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:53.000
S AND YOU KNOW, JUST OUR LARGER MEDICAL

00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:56.000
 FACILITIES

00:49:56.000 --> 00:50:00.000
.  SO THAT'S BEEN REALLY REALLY GREAT.  YOU KNOW, OUR

00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:03.000
 CRISIS STANDARDS WEREN'T ALL THAT.  WE STILL HAD

00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:06.000
 THE AGEISM AND THAT

00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:10.000
 HAD TO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH

00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:13.000
 A LAWSUIT FILED BY JUSTICE IN AGING

00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:16.000
.    IT HAS -- IT WILL

00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:20.000
 BE ADJUSTED.  WE PULLED EVERYBODY BACK TOGETHER

00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:23.000
 AGAIN BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW

00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:27.000
 IDAHO WENT INTO CRISIS STANDARDS OF

00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:30.000
 CARE ABOUT 5 WEEK AGO AND WE'RE STILL IN

00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:33.000
 IT.  WE KNOW CARE RATIONING IS STILL HAPPENING IS WE'RE TRY

00:50:33.000 --> 00:50:36.000
ING TO ADDRESS THAT IN OTHER WAYS.  WE KNOW PEOPLE WHO NEED

00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:40.000
 CRITICAL SURGERIES ARE NOT ABLE TO GET THEM RIGHT NOW

00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:43.000
 BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET INTO THE HOSPITAL

00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:46.000
.    SO IT IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE AND THE OTHER THING

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:49.000
 I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND

00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:53.000
 AT LEAST HERE IDAHO IS THE

00:50:53.000 --> 00:50:56.000
 CRISIS STANDARDS ARE AN ADVISERY.  MANY

00:50:56.000 --> 00:51:00.000
 FACILITIES HAVE THEIR OWN SET OF CRISIS STANDARDS.   

00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:03.000
  SO I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR ANY STATE IF THERE

00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:06.000
 IS A HOSPITAL YOU'RE CONCERNED

00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:09.000
 YOU LOOK AT THEIR CRISIS STANDARDS BECAUSE

00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:12.000
 THAT'S IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING BY.  I THINK SOMETIMES WE GET

00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:15.000
 LOOKING AT THE WRONG THING AND NOT

00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.000
 SEEING WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING LIKE HOW

00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:22.000
 MANY PEOPLE BASED ON

00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:25.000
 THEIR AGE

00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:28.000
 OR DISABILITY ARE NOT EVEN GETTING TO

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:31.000
 GO TO THE HOSPITAL.  INSTEAD THEY ESSENTIALLY

00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:35.000
 GET PALULATIVE

00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:39.000
 OR HOSPICE CARE AND NEVER

00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:42.000
 EVEN GET TO THE HOSPITAL TO GET EVALUATED

00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:45.000
.  FOR US THAT IS REALLY THE NEXT ISSUE OR THE CURRENT

00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:49.000
 ISSUE IN OUR STATE IS BECAUSE WE ARE IN

00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:52.000
 CRISIS STANDARDS, ANYBODY WHO HAS A

00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:56.000
 DO NOT RECESS

00:51:56.000 --> 00:51:59.000
ITATE ORDER FOR WHATEVER REASON ISN'T EVEN GONNA GET TO THE

00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:02.000
 HOSPITAL IF THEY GET COVID AND THAT'S REALLY

00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:06.000
 -- AND THE PERSON WHO POINTED THAT OUT TO ME

00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:09.000
 IS ACTUALLY MEDICAL DIRECTOR AT A REGIONAL HOSPITAL IN

00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:12.000
 THE EASTERN SIDE OF OUR STATE.   

00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:16.000
  SO DIDN'T EVEN COME FROM THE DISABILITY COMMUNITY

00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:19.000
 AND THAT'S REALLY WORRISOME TO ME

00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:22.000
 AND I JUST HAVE BEEN TRYING GET INFORMATION FROM OUR

00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.000
 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND WELFARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH

00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:28.000
.  IT IS LIKE SO MUCH OF THE OTHER DATA

00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:31.000
 AROUND DISABILITY, THE DATA IS NOT COLLECT

00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:35.000
ED.  NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE. 

00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:38.000
 SO A LOT OF TIMES I THINK WE FOCUS

00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:42.000
 ON THE ONE THING THAT GRABS THE MEDIA'S ATTENTION SUCH AS

00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:45.000
 CRISIS STANDARDS, AND OF COURSE WE WANT

00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:48.000
 THAT TO BE AS EQUITABLE AS POSSIBLE

00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:51.000
.  OF COURSE WE WANT THAT.  BUT WHAT ARE ALL THE THINGS

00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:54.000
 HAPPENING BEFORE A PERSON EVEN GETS AN OPPORTUNITY TO

00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:57.000
 GO TO A HOSPITAL?    SO FOR

00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:00.000
 ANYBODY WHO HAS LIVED IN OR VISITED A

00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:03.000
 NURSING HOME YOU KNOW THEY HAVE A MEDICAL

00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:07.000
 DIRECTOR AND THAT

00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:10.000
 IS THA PERSON THAT SIGNED OFF ON ORDERS.  THAT MEDICAL

00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.000
 DIRECTOR IS OFTEN AN ADMINISTRATOR.  THEY'RE A DOCTOR BUT

00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:16.000
 AN ADMINISTRATOR.  THEY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE TREAT

00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:20.000
ING COVID CRET THEY'RE MAKING A DECISION THAT SOMEONE IS GOING

00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:23.000
 TO GET PALATIVE CARE AND NEVER GET

00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:26.000
 TO THE HOSPITAL TO BE EVALUATED BY DOCTORS WHO HAVE BEEN

00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:29.000
 WORKING AROUND COVID FOR THE LAST 18 MONTHS.   

00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:32.000
  TO ME THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO BE THROWING OUR

00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:35.000
 ENERGY.  SORRY, THAT PROBABLY

00:53:35.000 --> 00:53:38.000
 DOESN'T ANSWER WHAT YOU ASKED ME, DAVID.    >> 

00:53:38.000 --> 00:53:41.000
 I WAS CURIOUS BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN

00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:45.000
 CRISIS STANDARD OF CARE FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW AND WE

00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:48.000
 MENTIONED IT GOT MY ATTENTION I WAS CURIOUS

00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:52.000
 TO SEE HOW YOU WENT ABOUT DOING THAT AND WHAT SOME OF THE

00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:55.000
 THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO I THINK I HAVE A MEET

00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:58.000
ING NEXT MONTH COMING UP WITH SOMETHING WITH

00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.000
 CRISIS STANDARD OF CARE SO I WAS WANTING TO GET TIP

00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:04.000
S AND YOU MAY HAVE LOOKED AT YOU KNOW GOING TO THE

00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:07.000
 FUTURE WHEN IT COMES UP.    I WILL KNOW WHAT TO LOOK AT

00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:11.000
 AND SOME OF THE QUESTIONS TO ASK

00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:14.000
 YOU KNOW THOSE IN THE

00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:18.000
 ROOM.  THAT WAS GREAT, THANK YOU VERY

00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:21.000
 MUCH   >>  THIS IS MEL AGAIN.  DAVID, I WOULD BE

00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:24.000
 HAPPY TO AND ANYBODY ELSE, I WOULD BE HAPPY

00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:27.000
 TO LET YOU KNOW THE RESOURCES I LOOKED AT AND THE FOLKS

00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:30.000
 I TALKED TO.  AGAIN, I'M BY

00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:33.000
 NO MEANS AN EXPERT IN

00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:36.000
 MEDICINE OR CIVIL RIGHTS LAW

00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:40.000
, BUT IT REALLY HELPED TO FALL ON SOME OTHER FOLK

00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:43.000
S WHO WERE THOSE EXPERTS AND REALLY TALK THROUGH SOME

00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:46.000
 OF THE THINGS I HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT. 

00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:49.000
   >>  OKAY.  THANKS.  I HAVE YOUR EMAIL SO

00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:52.000

 SEE THE RESOURCES, THANK YOU.    >>  YEP.    >>  OKAY. 

00:54:56.000 --> 00:54:59.000
 THIS IS MELLIE.  WE DO HAVE ONE QUESTION

00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:03.000
.  DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS TO

00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:06.000
 ENCOURAGE IL NETWORK COLLABORATION WHEN THERE IS RE

00:55:06.000 --> 00:55:10.000
SISTANCE FROM SOME TO PLAY?  WHO WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER THAT

00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:15.000
 PLEASE? 

00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:18.000
   >>  THIS IS BETH.    I WILL SAY ONE THING

00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:22.000
 AND THEN I'LL STOP AND

00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:26.000
 JIM, YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM THERE, BUT

00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:30.000
 THERE IS SOLUTIONS THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN.  IT IS REALLY

00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:33.000
 KIND EN

00:55:33.000 --> 00:55:36.000
DURING A STORM OR AN EVENT THERE ARE DECISION

00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:40.000
S THAT HAVE TO BE MADE AND YOU STAY AT THE TABLE

00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:43.000
 AND YOU DON'T LEAVE THE TABLE BECAUSE WHEN YOU

00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:46.000
 LEAVE THE TABLE THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE OTHER

00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:49.000
 PROBLEMS.    A LOT OF TIMES WHAT WE SAW

00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:53.000
 DURING COVID IS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH PUSHING THIS

00:55:53.000 --> 00:55:56.000
 RIDICULOUS PCA SIGNATURE THING THEY HAD

00:55:56.000 --> 00:55:59.000
 TO HAVE SIGNED IN ORDER TO GET

00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:05.000
 THEIR PCA A

00:56:05.000 --> 00:56:08.000
 VACCINE WHEN YOU CAME TO A CIL TO GET KROUR

00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:11.000
 YOUR COVID SHOTS.    WELL, IF THEY HAVE

00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:15.000
 THIS MANDATORY

00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:18.000
 PAPER THAT HAD TO BE SIGNED ASK YET THEY

00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:21.000
 SENT NO ONE TO COLLECT IT.  WE'RE NOT USING

00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:24.000
 THE MANDATORY PAPER. 

00:56:24.000 --> 00:56:27.000
 SOMETIMES THERE IS A LITTLE STUMBLE ON

00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:30.000
 THEIR OWN SYSTEMIC BARRIERS WE EXPERIENCE.  IT IS

00:56:30.000 --> 00:56:34.000
 REALLY SOMETIMES NOT GIVING UP AND PUSHING THROUGH AND BEING ABLE TO

00:56:34.000 --> 00:56:37.000
 BE AT A TABLE THAT REALLY NOBODY WANTS CROW

00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:40.000
 YOU AT AND CONVINCING THEM WHY YOU NEED TO

00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:43.000
 BE THERE BECAUSE THE OPPORTUNITY WILL PRESENT ITSELF AND YOU

00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:46.000
 JUST HAVE TO BE ABLE TO

00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:50.000
 GO AHEAD AND STAY AT THE TABLE.  SCRIM

00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:54.000
. 

00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:57.000
 JIM?    >>  YEAH

00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:00.000
, SO FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IN THE STATE

00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.000
 OF WASHINGTON SINCE I'VE BEEN A PART OF IT,

00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:08.000
 THE CIEP HAS BEEN ABOUT THREE YEARS

00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:11.000
, MAYBE FOUR YEARS AGO

00:57:11.000 --> 00:57:15.000
, WE HAVE GOOD CONNECTIONS ON THE STATE LEVEL

00:57:15.000 --> 00:57:18.000
.  ON THE COUNTY LEVEL

00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:22.000
 THERE ARE SOME GOOD CONNECTIONS THERE

00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:29.000
.  WE DO HAVE SOME SMALL COUNTIES

00:57:29.000 --> 00:57:32.000
 THAT NEED GREATER ACCESS, THAT NEED

00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:35.000
 TO BECOME HIGHER PRIORITIES BECAUSE THEY HAVE REALLY LIMIT

00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:39.000
ED RESOURCES SO IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO IN

00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:42.000
CLUDE THEM AND THE CILS

00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:45.000
 THAT ARE IN THE AREA THEY ARE STARTING

00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:48.000
 TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED CONNECTIONS.  EITHER

00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:52.000
 WITH THE LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, OR WITH

00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:56.000
 THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TEAM.   

00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:59.000
  SO I NOTICED THAT IT START

00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:02.000
ED SMALL YOU KNOW, ON A

00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:06.000
 QUIET DAY WHEN IT IS BLUE

00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:08.000
 SKIES THAT IS DEFINITELY THE BEST TIME TO START

00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:11.000
 MAKING THOSE CONNECTIONS BEFORE

00:58:11.000 --> 00:58:15.000
 SOMETHING DISASTROUS HAPPENS YOU'RE NOW FORCED

00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:20.000
 TO WORK TOGETHER AND YOU DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER. 

00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:23.000
   >>  THANK YOU.  THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR
