In talking about community health on both a small and large scale, emergency preparation, emergency alertness, and emergency care have always been highly specialized skills and information for medical professionals. However, cellphones and wireless internet access are quickly changing all of that. Exclusivity in professional grade knowledge is becoming a thing of the past due to computer mediated communication through IPod applications, government websites and emergency protocols in PDF format -for anyone with internet access. This blog is written to show how technology can ultimately enhance the process of emergency alertness, preparation, and care from the professionals to the people they serve, with efficiency. It also shows how some people have suffered from the lack of technology, and how some people are getting the most of technology, and some people are not getting anything really out of it.
