In a continuing effort to enhance disaster response, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has launched a $6.7 million program that will allow its Disaster Medical Assistance Teams to respond to disasters within 12 hours.
A total of 93 trucks will be delivered over the next year to 31 DMATs throughout the country. The trucks will be used to haul each team's field tents, generators, medical equipment, and supplies. Each team also will receive a specialized refrigerator truck to haul and store sensitive pharmaceuticals.
