The infamous P.O.D.

SO this past saturday, October 23, 2010 we had a Saturday flu clinic, also known as the Point of Distribution or P.O.D. for short.
This was the best experience i had, in terms of coordination. Because of the new CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) Trailer, the time for setting up the P.O.D. was cut back to half an hour. WHich is significantly more than previous years (over an hour and a half). Kayleigh, the intern, and I had printed numbers and placed them on big clear boxes so we could neatly pack them in the trailer for each station. We had 11 stations in general, and we had more than one box for each station, and at we put all the things necessary in each box for each station.

The drive through was such a success for the P.O.D., which is where i spent most of my time. The tent for the payments was the really nice and it made more people stop by to see what was happening.

As for team work, the CERT members, police officers, and fire department were all present for security, as workers and in case of an emergency.

After the P.O.D., packing up took less than half an hour. Our meeting went smoothly, and everyone gave their thoughts about what might need improvement; having a triage for the drive thru to make sure someone is not sick etc.

ENJOY THE PICTURES!
