    Arizona Transportation Resources Deployed by FEMA to Assist Possible Hurricane Dean Relief Efforts

    Phoenix, Arizona, August 19th – Responding to a FEMA deployment order regarding Hurricane Dean’s possible landfall, Dependable Medical Transport Services (DMTS), Comtrans Community Transport and the Avondale Fire Department have teamed up to participate in the potential coastal evacuation of residents in Texas.

    Early Sunday morning the call was placed by FEMA, and within hours, five DMTS wheelchair / stretcher vans and a Comtrans Ambulance, staffed with an Avondale Fire Department Paramedic were in route to San Antonio, TX, to actively participate in this National Mobilization of medical resources.

    “I’ve been a paramedic for over 15 years, and although we are a non-emergent transportation company, our vehicle resources and Certified Transport Specialists, (CTS) are well trained to assist FEMA and the residents of Texas if this hurricane strikes,” said Mike Shabkie, Managing Partner DMTS. “We pray that Hurricane Dean does not impact the area, but if it does, our resources will most likely be used in the evacuation of residents from Care Facilities and Hospitals.”

    “I’m extremely proud of our prompt response and partnership with Avondale Fire and DMTS,” said Neal Thomas, President of Comtrans. “Our team is fully prepared and will work diligently with FEMA during this possible relief effort. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who are in Hurricane Dean’s path.”
