News: From the field. CIRO at Logistics Training Course in TEEX

Only six months with the team and I find my self on my way to TEEX Disaster City in College Station Texas for a one week course. We land in Houston and drive one and a half hours to College Station. The heat is intense and humid 46C° degrees with the humidity. I am on a Logistics training Course with my teammate Randi Butler.

We get to Disaster city and I am at a loss for words. We are met with a derailed passenger train, overturned tanker trucks, collapsed building and collapsed parking parkade.

The class consists of Search and Rescue people from Canada, United States and South Korea. The thing we all have in common is a strong desire to do the job we do just a little bit better, this class makes that goal a reality. Even though we come from all over we have a common goal, a better way of doing our jobs without re inventing the wheel.

The information comes to us fast and furious, it is like trying to take a sip of water through a 2 ½ inch fire hose. The instructors tailor the class to meet all our needs, I walk away with wider eyes and broader perspective of how I can do my job better and more efficiently.

Thank you team for sending me.
