Summary

BIRHC was still pricing emergency equipment after the previous month’s preparedness discussion. Ken Taylor offered up to $5,000, while Munson Hospital donated linens, blankets, and towels. The account said BIRHC expected to buy additional trauma supplies and emergency cots, storing the equipment in the Government Building basement.
