Meeting at Orange County Emergency Center
Our April 21st meeting took place at the Orange County Emergency Services 911 Center. Rotarian and Deputy Commissioner Robert Doss gave us a tour of the facility after our meeting, and we were thoroughly impressed by the scope of the services and state-of-the-art technology. Standing in the control room that could rival that of NASA, we could see there was true coordination between all departments from a 911 call, all the way through to true disaster preparedness and response. Not only are we served and protected as residents but there are programs in place to support those who serve us. Philip “Sal” Salinardi is the Peer Support Coordinator, and he discussed his role in securing the services all over the county to promote the health and wellbeing of first responders and their families. We feel truly fortunate to live here in Orange County.
