Resuscitation Research List
 Folks interested in resuscitation might find a new list server operated by McMaster University exciting. The site allows you to sign up for notices of newly published resuscitation research. Access the site here.
 
Bioterrorism Response Report
 Remember Ebola, H1N1, bird flu, and SARS? Our preparedness was not so hot (some would say it was outright terrible). Well, the InterAgency Board (IAB) published a new document, "A Proposed Model for Bioterrorism Response: Initial Operations and Characterization," which may be of interest to your organization. The IAB proposes a model for a biothreat response capability that brings together public safety jurisdictions, federal resources, processes, standards, and doctrine to support the creation of a network of locally owned and operated validated bioterrorism response teams. See the report here.
