TIDEWATER EMS COUNCIL RECOGNIZES EXCELLENCE IN EMS
The Mobile Command trailer or MOBCOMM is one of two that the Eastern Virginia Healthcare Coalition has available thanks to joint ventures with Sentara Health System on the southside and Riverside Health System on the peninsula.
These trailers are available for use by coalition partners by calling the Regional Healthcare Coordination Center at (844) 757-7422 (RHCC).
Tidewater EMS Council recently hosted training at it's warehouse for members of the VA-1 Disaster Medical Assistance Team (DMAT) which included field training (logistics, setting up and supplying tents, electronic medical system) and hands-on training (respiratory and cardiac monitoring). Training is an essential part of being ready to deploy at any moment and the opportunity to work together as a team and gain experience with the equipment that will be utilized is tremendously valuable.
The Hampton Roads Metropolitan Medical Response System (HRMMRS) is now able to operate using a new tent system which provides a center for triage and treatment with more features and improved flexibility. The ASAP Rapid Shelter System by Deployed Logix is a shelter capable of deploying in the harshest conditions with minimal time and personnel.

The Medical Rapid Access Transports or MRATs are part of the regional Mass Casualty Incident transportation plan and provide a capability to access and provide medical attention in off-road situations. As of July 2021, there are four MRATs in active service (Hampton, Chesapeake, York County and Virginia Beach) with two more on order for Newport News and Norfolk. The Hampton Roads MMRS program was able to purchase these off-road ambulances through a grant and there are plans to add four more MRATs for use in Suffolk, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight and James City Counties.
