For the last 12 years, I have been in two industries in the career field of safety and emergency management: the oilfields of west Texas and hospitals. As a graduate of the EADP, I was able to combine my emergency management and safety experience into one degree. I have worked in two different hospitals, Cook Children's Medical Center and Harris Methodist H.E.B., as their Safety Officer. I am currently the chair of the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Training and Exercise Committee were we plan the training and exercise programs for hospitals with the HRSA grant dollars. I recently took a new position with Safety Management Services (SMS), as a Staff Consultant. The company office is out of Chicago and I am the Texas office representative. I get the great opportunity to consult with hospitals on their Joint Commission compliance which includes emergency management, safety, fire safety and four other programs relative to healthcare. I also conducting training within hospitals and in seminars that SMS schedules year round. To see our services at SMS, go to www.safemgt.com. My part time job has been in the United States Air Force Reserves for last 10 years and I'm currently a Technical Sergeant- Tactical Radio Operator. I am with the 433rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron at Lackland AFB, Texas in San Antonio. I have traveled all over the world and love the adventure. The EADP degree can take you into the public or private sector and into many different parts of industry. Best of luck in school and enjoy your time there. |

Jaime Sarbaugh (B.S., EADP 2004) My name is Jaime Sarbaugh and I am a recent (2004) graduate of UNT with degrees in EADP and Sociology. Currently, I am working as an Emergency Management Coordinator and Public Information Coordinator for Collier County (Naples), Florida, Bureau of Emergency Services, Emergency Management. As you may well know, we just experienced the land-falling category 3 Hurricane Wilma that ripped through south Florida. This being my first year of Emergency Management, I expected to be overwhelmed by what it would mean to prepare, respond, and recover from such an event. I am happy to report that, although we still have a long way to go, we have come out swinging. I am grateful to the University of North Texas and all of my former professors for the education I received, that I was ready and able for such an event and able to help save and protect the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents in Collier County. If I can ever be of any assistance to your program, please do not hesitate to ask. |

Timothy Masters (B.S., EADP 2004) Homeland Security Planner Permian Basin Regional Planning Commission Midland, TX 432/563-1061 tmasters@pbrpc.org UNT is almost like the Harvard of emergency management to many of the COGs in Texas. Simply having the EADP degree gives me instant credibility in any conversation with a jurisdiction or fellow planner. Just this morning during Midland's WMD exercise I was in the ICP "observing" when an FBI agent approached me. I'd never met him before but he was familiar with my position and background as a UNT graduate - he graduated from the EADP program in '93. Instant credibility, we bypassed the "sizing one another up" phase and moved directly into discussing the exercise at hand. So, I'm glad I went to school where I did. One of our next targets is to incorporate NIMS (or ICS) into the basic level plans for the jurisdictions in our region. It'll be an interesting experience I'm sure. Recently our department wrapped up the majority of our 2005 LETPP and SHSP grant allocations and submitted the proposed allocations to the board of the Permian Basin Council of Governments. This project of interoperable communications for our region was waiting on my desk when I walked in the door my first day here. They gave me our statement of work and said, "Show us how good you are." Somehow most of the information from my EADP courses is resurfacing when I need it! |

Office Fax: (434) 947-2908
Cell Phone: (434) 841-5319
Pager: (434) 849-0782
I am the District Epidemiologist for the Central Virginia Health District of the Virginia Department of Health. I started September 11, 2006. My District includes the cities of Lynchburg and Bedford, and the Counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford, and Campbell (it's different here in the Commonwealth of VA: cities are political entities in themselves, so they aren't part of a county...news to me, too!). It's a total of about 2100 square miles, and roughly 230,000 residents, plus the additional student populations of five colleges/universities. I'm responsible performing syndromic surveillance through the hospital emergency departments in the area, and I receive reports directly from practitioners and laboratories and investigate all confirmed or suspected diseases included on the VA Reportable Disease List (similar to the CDC list, plus an additional 15 or so). I work with other state agencies, hospitals, physicians, first responders and rescue authorities to ensure appropriate response planning to community health threats/events, including bioterrorism. I maintain the disease incidence tracking system, and serve as a liaison between the state health department and the local medical community fostering effective lines of communication and relationships to ensure timely disease reporting. I serve as the subject matter expert in epidemiological investigations, including disease clusters and outbreaks. I coordinate and direct the Epidemiologic Response Team, a multi-disciplinary internal team (including nursing, environmental health, lab, clerical, and administrative members) that responds to disease outbreaks. I work side-by-side with the emergency planner at the health department (both of our positions are federally grant-funded by the CDC) to ensure that our plans for mass prophylaxis and vaccination in the district are adequate and tested. In fact, we did a mass dispensing drill last week for pandemic influenza repsonse; we administered 400 influenza vaccines (free of charge) to the public to practice response to a pandemic influenza. I maintain 24/7 availability; they issued me a cell phone, a pager, a satellite phone, and a PDA, so I'm ALWAYS accessible. |

overall function is to support the UTA Fire Marshal in executing the
campus fire and life safety program for University Housing.
I am responsible for performing fire and life safety inspections
for Housing (all campus-4 residence halls and 20 apt complexes).
I serve as the liaison between Housing and the Environmental

I will keep up records, and report to the Vice President as completion of projects goes through. I also maintain and check on Fire Equipment, as well as make sure any work orders involved get put in. Then I of course do the follow up. In the future I am going to help with new plans on some renovation and some larger structures to help ensure compliance of Fire Fighter Safety. In the future I will assist in Emergency Management plans and programs for the campus. |
