Be Safe During Spring Break. A Guide for Parents and Students

From Moxie Health

While the biggest problems facing most of the thousands of spring breakers headed to the beach in the next few weeks will be hangovers and sunburn, things can happen, and kids and parents should be prepared.

Before anyone takes off for South Padre Island, Lake Havasu or Cancun, it’s a good idea to set some up some safeguards — and have a plan if something does go wrong. Communication is the first to-do on most spring break safety lists. Know when your kid is leaving, where they’re staying and who they’re going with, and ask them to check in by phone on a pre-arranged schedule.

 If you are the spring breaker, have everyone program the emergency contact information for each member of your group into their phones to avoid panic and delay if something does happen.

Be insured for health emergencies

This is especially important if kids are traveling out of the United States. Many student health insurance plans will not cover injuries sustained out of the country and worse, medical evacuation is incredibly expensive, as much as $100,000 for an international airlift by jet and $50,000 domestically. You can buy both health insurance and medical evacuation insurance to cover travel health emergencies.

“We have a great product we hope you will never have to use,” says Sarah Hanley, director of corporate communications for AirMed. With one call, AirMed will dispatch a medically-equipped jet to evacuate an injured kid back home, not just to the nearest acceptable facility, from anywhere on the globe. The company also has a 24/7 medical logistics team that can give referrals, consultations and prescription assistance for sick or injured people abroad. AirMed also provides transport between domestic hospitals and specialty facilities for treatment. AirMed offers short- and long-term student, individual, and family coverage, with costs ranging from $115-$400.

Most Dangerous Countries for Drivers

A new study from the University of Michigan maps global fatalities from car accidents.

By Derek Thompson, The Atlantic

Driving a car is safer than ever for the simple reason that cars are safer than ever—thanks to features like seat belts, air bags, and electronic stability control. That's one reason why deaths per miles driven have plummeted around the developed world in the five decades since Ralph Nader published Unsafe at Any Speed. In fact, the U.S. used to be the safest country for drivers among all OECD countries in the early 1970s. By the middle of the last decade, the rest of the world had caught up.

This week, a new study (pdf) from the Transportation Research Initiative at the University of Michigan looks at global driving fatalities with up-to-date World Health Organization data. Around the world, deaths in fatal car crashes are 1/6th as likely as dying from a common health problem, like heart disease. In the U.S., where road crashes account for just 2 percent of deaths, individuals are 13 times more likely to die from cancer.

Security Concerns for 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi

The 2014 Winter Olympic Games will take place in Sochi – a city located in the Krasnodar Krai region of Russia on the Black Sea coast -- from 7 to 23 February 2014. The Games are expected to draw more than 120,000 spectators, approximately 5,400 athletes and support staff, and thousands of media, broadcasters and Olympic officials.

Travelers to the Games should be aware of the Security Concerns outlined below, along with details regarding security measures, airport facilities, transportation and accommodations. 

Security Concerns

The primary security concern related to the Winter Olympics is terrorism. The potential for protests and other forms of unrest, as well as general concerns related to crime and the rate of corruption in Russia, should also be considered.

Terrorism

Although Sochi has remained relatively free of terror activity in recent years, terrorism is the primary security concern for the Olympics. Both domestic and transnational militant Islamist groups could target the Olympic Games; however, the Caucasus Emirate (CE) -- a domestically operating militant Islamist group that is part of the global jihadist movement -- is most likely to be the perpetrator of any attacks during the Olympics.

Crime
Due to its prominent status as a domestic tourist destination and the associated high level of security, serious crime has traditionally been less of a concern for travelers in Sochi than in some other Russian cities. Concerns are heightened during the Games. however, due to the potential for opportunistic individuals seeking to take advantages of the large number of foreign travelers. Basic precautions against petty and other minor crimes should be taken, and travelers should avoid the poorer residential areas outside of the main Olympic venues as a precaution.

Hate crimes motivated by ethnicity or sexual orientation are a concern in many Russian cities. In light of the increased international attention, security forces will likely be more diligent in responding to and preventing such incidents, particularly when foreign nationals are involved. All foreigners should act with caution when mingling with locals, and potential targets of hate crimes should minimize time spent in isolated areas and avoid public displays of affection or other identifying remarks in these situations.

Anti-LGTB Legislation
As indicated in the Protests and Other Disorder section above, Russia recently passed a law that bans homosexual “propaganda” aimed at minors, which has prompted considerable international discussion regarding the rights of LGTB visitors to Russia during the Games. While the law itself fails to adequately define what is considered “propaganda” and does potentially allow the prosecution of activists for a wide variety of actions, the Russian
leadership has repeatedly assured that, while all Russian laws will be enforced during the Games, the rights of LGTB spectators and participants will be respected.

Security Measures
Intensive security measures are being put in place for the Games. An estimated US$3 billion of the US$51 billion budget for the Sochi Olympics is reportedly being used for security. In addition to physical security barriers, reports have indicated that the city and venues are also being equipped with approximately 1,400 closed circuit TVs. It remains unclear the extent to which these security measures will be visible to the general public or hamper movement or other activity during the Games.

Hearing Loss Symptoms and Prevention Tips

Protection is Key to Preventing Hearing Loss

Music, television, crowd noise, video clips, cellphones, street noise, ambulances, fire trucks and airplanes are just some of the noises that we hear on a daily basis. As a culture we have become inundated with LOUD noises that contribute to different types of hearing loss. It is estimated 32.5 million people in the United States are experiencing hearing loss symptoms.  Hearing loss can be painless and not recognized until permanent damage is done. Exposure to high levels of sound on a regular basis can cause damage to the microscopic hairs within the ear that are responsible for acute to severe hearing loss.

How loud is too loud? 

Prolonged exposure to sounds above 85 decibels (dB) are considered "hearing loss damage decibels" and may cause tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and/or permanent damage to your ability decipher sounds. Here are some hearing loss statistics:

• Normal conversation is measured at a noise level of 50-70 dB. 
• A motorcycle or lawn mower is 85-90 dB. 
• A typical rock concert is measured at 110 to120 dB. 
• An ambulance siren or jet engine at take-off is 119-140 dB. 

Regular exposure--even wearing headphones or ear buds--can be dangerous if the volume is too loud. As a good rule of thumb, if you can hear the music when someone is wearing their headphones, it is too loud!

Protection, Protection, Protection

Hearing protection can include ear plugs, ear muffs, and headphones. Those who work in a high risk environment should know that it is imperative to wear the best ear protection and take as many “quiet’ breaks as possible.

• Get your hearing tested yearly to track any loss that may occur.
•  Try to avoid long exposure to any dB over 85-90.

Younger generations should be encouraged to protect their hearing so they will enjoy the sounds of life as they age. They will thank you when they are grandparents.

Remember PROTECTION, PROTECTION, and PROTECTION!! Hearing loss is preventable!!!

Inside the World of an International Flight Dispatcher

Dispatches from the Air Medical Field

The dispatchers at AirMed have their fingerprints all over flight operations for the company. Lead Dispatcher Jason Garcia took some time to tell us about the department and their important part of the air medical process.

by Jason Garcia
Lead Dispatcher at AirMed International

I actually had never heard of flight dispatching until a few months before I was enrolled in a flight dispatch class working on my certification. Fresh out of the Army and living off the generosity of relatives, I somehow completed the course with no problems and found myself looking for my first job as a flight dispatcher in the wake of 9/11. I had received my dispatch license only one week prior to September 11, 2001. After stints in Wichita and Cleveland, I came to AirMed in 2004 and have been here ever since.

Dispatchers deal with weather, air traffic, visibility issues,

customs issues, flight planning, pilot staffing, and

have a host of other unsung talents that help AirMed's

air medical flights operate smoothly.

AirMed dispatch combines every possible aspect of planning and logistics for our long-distance and domestic medical transports. Besides the flight planning and weather checking, we spend much of our time dealing with foreign handlers and customs agents all over the USA and abroad.

In today’s modern aviation environment there exists a huge list of little things you need to keep track of in order for trips to run smoothly. I have described my team of dispatchers as the busy legs that keep the duck looking so serene and relaxed on the pond…only this pond is full of alligators, red tape and rapidly changing requirements from other countries. Needless to say, I rely heavily on local handling agents to keep everything running properly and to make sure that our patients are brought safely home and that we exceed all their expectations.

Here at AirMed we only hire certified Part 121 flight dispatchers. That means they have passed the FAA Flight Dispatcher’s course and have been issued an FAA dispatcher license. The course includes classes on flight planning, aircraft performance and lots of instruction on reading weather forecast and condition reports. That sounds simple enough, but no one breezes through Dispatch School, and it is not uncommon for people to know the exact score they received on the final exam literally decades after taking the test. (I got a 92.)

Being a successful flight dispatcher requires a few other talents. All good dispatchers are organized and use their experience to plan ahead a few steps. I can always tell when a new dispatcher is progressing well in their training by the level of questions they ask. Not the number of questions, but rather the complexity of the question, such as how a single aspect of a trip can affect the success of the trip as a whole.

In the end though, every trip is different. To be successful, I am constantly rolling with the punches and playing them as I see fit. Sometimes I believe that I can expect a day where there could be no surprises and have it complicated with a typhoon or Israeli sorties in Lebanon or both. In those cases, a sense of humor may be a dispatcher’s most valuable commodity.

Over the years I have learned that no matter how deep the hole I find myself standing in, I always somehow find a way to make things all work out. Focusing on the trip and reminding myself and the dispatchers that someone is relying on our team to get them home after they hurt themselves while far from home is paramount. “Who better than me to get this person home to their family.” I actually say that to myself sometimes, and it works.

When the patient is delivered and the crew is on their way back to our home base, I enjoy a victory meal. The McDonalds by my house is open all night...they know me.

The Ins and Outs of Being Locked Up Abroad

What happens when you're on the wrong side of the law in a foreign country?

by Dick Atkins, Esq.,
National Geographic legal consultant for "Locked Up Abroad"

The news is full of stories of unsuspecting travelers finding themselves in a foreign jailhouse. Clearly this is one of the most traumatic experiences anyone could face, especially for those maintaining and eventually proving their innocence. So what can you do to avoid getting locked up in a foreign country? You might not understand the language and probably will not be familiar with how the local legal process works.

Dick Atkins, a CNN contributor, and also the legal consultant for Nat Geo’s TV series “Locked Up Abroad” says prevention is the key and offers these suggestions that could mean a huge difference in how things turn out.

Know the laws of the country or state you are visiting or staying in. 

The only way you can avoid giving law enforcement cause to arrest you is to know what behaviors are prohibited under law and not engaging in any of them. If you are visiting a foreign country, purchase a travel book that outlines the laws and general culture so you are properly prepared on arrival.

Sign up for the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). 

Smart Traveler Enrollment Program is a free, online service from the U.S. State Department.  This will help the State Department contact you if there is a family emergency in the U.S. or if there is a crisis where you are traveling. In accordance with the Privacy Act, information on your welfare and whereabouts will not be released to others without your express authorization.

If you are arrested or detained abroad:

Stay quiet and do not panic. 

Attempting to defend or explain might make things worse. It will be easy to panic, but you should focus on being calm. Being relaxed and calm may give you a positive chance in the situation. You may be asked to make a statement or sign papers. Do not do either unless your chosen legal counsel has advised you to do so.

Contact the Embassy or Consular office as soon as possible. 

They will be the best contact in this type situation to give advice about the significance of the charges, and the local legal procedure that will follow. They will also be able to contact your family or employer about the situation and keep them informed of the progress and arrange a potential visit.

In any situation that involves law enforcement in unfamiliar surroundings, the more you know and understand the situation, the better off you will be.

Travel with the Facts: Dangers of Driving at Night

Be Careful of Your Surroundings in the Late Hours!

Always Drive Responsibly

Ninety percent of a driver's reaction depends on vision, and vision is severely limited at night. Depth perception, color recognition, and peripheral vision are compromised after sundown. Older drivers have even greater difficulties seeing at night. A 50-year-old driver may need twice as much light to see as well as a 30-year old. 

Traffic crashes that include at least one driver or motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 g/dl or greater account for about 32% of total traffic fatalities. That makes weekend nights more dangerous. More fatal crashes take place on weekend nights than at any other time in the week.

Your Cell Phone Could Save Your Life

Wireless Emergency Alerts Sent by Local Public Safety 

Officials Help Americans Prepare

Recent severe weather and the start of the Atlantic hurricane season reinforce the need for Americans to familiarize themselves with the look, sound and authenticity of real-time Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs). This is an important and ground-breaking public safety initiative that we should all familiarize ourselves with.



Wireless Emergency Alerts are free messages sent by local public safety officials and the National Weather Service to warn about imminent danger, AMBER Alerts and national emergencies. The 90-character messages use one-way cell broadcast technology to send alerts even if other wireless voice and data services in the area are highly congested. 

The most important thing to know is: if you receive a wireless emergency alert on your cell phone, take the message seriously. Tune to local news media for further emergency details in your area, and take immediate action to keep safe.

Visit www.ready.gov/alerts for more information on the Wireless Emergency Alerts. And, as always, come see us at airmed.com for more ways to save your life.

Six Ways to Prepare for Hurricane Season

With hurricane season now in full swing,
Six Things You and Your Family Need to Know

1. Build an emergency kit with enough supplies to last 72-hours. Don’t forget to have cash on hand to purchase essentials.

2.  Remember your pets! Many hotels and motels will not accept pets, so locate alternate housing like relatives, pet-friendly hotels or dog boarding kennels in areas outside of storm area.

3.  Protect your home’s windows with shutters or plywood, bring in outdoor furniture, decoration and anything else not tied down; clean gutters and downspouts

4.  Make sure you have a full tank of gas in your car because fuel may be hard to come by. If you plan to tough out the storm, make sure you have a generator and ample fuel to last 3 or more days.

5.  If evacuation is imminent, follow instructions issued by local officials and review FEMA evacuation procedures. It is important to make the decision to evacuate well in advance, so that you can avoid traffic congestion, fuel shortage and lack of available housing along evacuation routes.

6.  After the hurricane passes, wait until local officials declare the area safe before returning home

Air medical accreditation from CAMTS focuses on patient care and safety in medical transports

AirMed's Medical Transports Are Fully Accredited

The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services (CAMTS) is comprised of 20 non-profit member organizations. Its mission is to promote the improvement of medical transport services quality and safety within the emergency medical transport community. AirMed has maintained accreditation since 1998.

CAMTS offers a voluntary evaluation of compliance with accreditation standards targeting areas of patient care and safety in the medical transport environment to Fixed Wing, Rotor Wing, Ground, and Commercial Medical Escort transport providers. Each standard is supported by measurable criteria to appraise the quality of service provided by the program.

As reflected on the CAMTS website, Accreditation Standards are periodically revised to reflect the dynamic, changing environment of medical transport, The Accreditation Standards are developed with considerable input from all disciplines of the medical profession and serve as a marker of excellence for federal, state, and local governmental agencies, as well as private agencies and the general public. AirMed’s leadership team regularly refers to these standards in setting priorities, assigning resources, implementing policies and procedures, and understanding industry expectations for all aspects of the company.
