Suggestions on Med Kit
Hello, I currently work with non-profit organizations that are involved in some risky situations. We do a lot of cleanup, trail maintenance, in areas restricted for the Parks Dept. due to policy. As well as providing assistance in encampments, as first responders. One of the Greenbelts we have restored is really sketchy with 60 degree slopes and landslides in many areas. You can see more in the FB group,
Friends of the Northeast Queen Anne Greenbelt
If fact there was a medical emergency at that location resulting in a fatality because EMT couldn't get their gurney there without s chainsaw and trail. Our entire med kit was recently stollen and was a huge loss. Many of our work events draw 30-40 people, not all experienced. Do you have any suggestions where we could turn to help replace some of it and continue operation? I'm a volunteer with no operating budget. We operate under a 501c3 @WeHeartSeattle.Org so its deductible, I just don't know where to start asking. We also patrol downhill bike Parks assisting in evac. and stabilization before EMT can arrive. I really need a foldable stretcher for 3 of the locations prone to injury and no trail access. Any guidance on organizations that could help would be great. Be safe and thanks, --Gregor
