A
A
But
rarely
do
we
get
a
special
moment
to
celebrate
public
safety
officials
and,
namely
public
servants.
Pittsburgh
is
blessed,
and
I've
said
this
before
we
have
a
public
safety
director.
Who's
worked
at
the
highest
levels
within
the
fbi
on
counter
terrorism
and
understanding
all
the
different
ways
that
we
have
to
work
together
in
order
to
be
able
to
solve
problems,
especially.
A
And
natural
disasters,
we
have
a
chief
operations
officer
who
served
as
the
chief
of
staff
to
the
secretary
of
homeland
security
and
sat
at
the
table
with
generals
from
africa
and
helped
to
work
on
national
defense
issues
for
our
country
and
all
the
way
through
the
ranks
of
pittsburgh
city
officials.
We
have
those
that
have
served
in
high
capacity.
A
A
somebody
who
had
had
the
experience
back
over
a
decade
ago
in
battling
h1n1
somebody
who
was
responsible
back
then
to
create
a
pandemic
guidebook
for
our
public
safety
department
for
each
of
our
bureaus
to
be
able
to
know
what
to
do
when
you're.
In
a
situation
where
there
are
no
guidebooks
to
help
you
and
somebody
who,
through
this
process,
while
dealing
with
the
pandemic,
has
rewritten
that
guidebook
and
given
us
new
direction
with
the
use
of
technology.
A
Other
cities
aren't
even
utilizing
yet
we're
working
now
hand
in
hand
with
our
medics
and
our
hospitals
and
telemedicine,
we're
working
directly
with
our
fire
bureau
in
being
able
to
concentrate
on
the
life-saving
issues
that
they
face.
Our
police
bureau
has
been
able
to
adapt
and
to
be
able
to
become
not
just
those
that
are
protecting
and
keeping
the
peace,
but
those
that
are
serving
the
community
at
large,
and
all
of
that
is
due
to
the
work
of
chief
pinchot
chief.
If
you
could
come
up
six
feet
from
me,
I've
got
a
couple.
A
Furthermore,
declaring
wednesday
may
6
2020
is
marquee
pinchot
day
here
in
our
most
livable
city
of
pittsburgh.
Congratulations
chief!
We
don't
have
a
plaque
to
give
you
because
plaques
apparently
aren't
essential
businesses
so
once
they
reopen
in
the
north
side
we'll
have
that
printed
and
made
for
you
um
before.
I
turn
it
over
to
you.
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
the
director
and
to
chief
romano
as
well.
A
These
are
two
men
who
have
spoken,
your
praise
since
your
promotion
and
have
always
stated
the
reliance
that
they
have
not
only
in
the
work
that
you
do,
but
the
advice
that
you
give
them
um
we're
at
a
good
place.
Right
now,
um
we
are
on
the
back
side
of
what
looks
to
have
been
a
plateau
at
the
end
of
april,
and,
as
we
see,
these
numbers
continue
to
go
down.
uh
It's
a
time
of
passion.
D
Thank
you,
mayor
chief
penshaw,
congratulations,
thank
you.
uh
The
planning
actually
started
for
this
event.
uh
I
believe
the
third
or
fourth
week
in
january,
when
the
chief
of
staff
and
the
mayor
came
to
me
and
they
had
some
concerns
about
what
was
going
on
in
china,
and
they
said
that
there
they
were
somewhat
concerned
about
it,
and
so
was
I
and
we
began
some
initial
planning
at
that
time.
D
D
We
started
to
prepare
the
first
responders
by
providing
them
additional
ppe,
advanced
training
and
started
to
make
sure
our
equipment
supplies
was
up
to
par
everything
from
ordering
additional
supplies
making
sure
the
equipment
was
well
maintained
and
ready
to
go
then
came
march.
The
concerns
even
grew
further.
At
that
point,
as
was
described
to
me,
the
train
was
on
the
tracks.
It
was
just
a
matter
of
when
it
was
going
to
come
to
pittsburgh.
D
We
started
to
work
a
scheduling
plan
to
make
sure
that
we
could
support
the
essential
services
not
only
through
public
safety,
but
through
this
all
the
departments
within
the
city.
We
work
with
within
the
within
the
cities
within
the
city's
uh
different
departments
and
uh
the
concern
even
grew
more
and
more,
as
we
approached
a
large
event
for
saint
patrick's
day,
a
decision
had
to
be
made
as
to
whether
or
not
large
events
was
going
to
occur
and
what
the
safety
concerns
were
coordinating
with
our
external
partners,
allegheny
county
health
and
pima
emergency
management.
D
We
continued
day-to-day
with
having
daily
conference
calls
with
internally
externally
and,
as
the
mayor
stated,
hopefully
we're
on
the
back
end
of
this,
and
hopefully
there
won't
be
a
resurgence,
but
if
there
is
rest
assured
that
chief
pen
shock
and
public
safety
will
be
ready
to
go
with,
that
being
said,
I
want
to
take
a
moment
thank
all
the
first
responders
police
fire
ems
and,
of
course,
our
health
care
community.
A
special
thanks
to
the
nurses
at
the
beginning
of
nurse
appreciation
week.
D
It's
a
team
effort,
it's
a
unified
response
throughout
the
city
throughout
the
county
and
throughout
region.
13.,
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
the
public
for
their
support
and
their
understanding
during
these
times
that
the
unknown
times
that
we
faced
so
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
chief
romano
of
the
for
the
emergency
medical
services
chief.
C
C
C
uh
A
great
job
by
our
ems
employees
out
there
during
this
time
also,
but
uh
because
of
mark's
guidance
and
having
that
plan
of
value.
He
said
I'll
dust
it
off
and
have
it
ready,
and
I
was
able
to
tell
the
director
that
and
we
were
able
to
go
and,
under
his
guidance
we've.
uh
I
think
we've
done
great
things.
We've
protected
our
employees,
most
of
the
employees
in
public
safety
and
all
the
citizens
of
pittsburgh,
the
best
of
our
ability,
because
of
mark
and
without
do
assistant
chief
mark.
B
Pinchot,
thank
you,
mayor
chiefs,
director.
So
just
give
a
little
overview.
Our
planning
came
from
um
our
original
planning
started.
Actually
back
in
2007
for
h5n1
influenza,
we
employed
a
plan
in
09
for
h1n1
and
the
periodic
updates
over
the
years
for
evolving
threats,
such
as
ebola
and
measles.
Even.
B
Of
our
plan,
it
kind
of
has
three
main
areas.
The
first
one
is
force,
protection,
be
able
to
keep
our
workforce
safe,
and
we
also
expanded
that
to
the
rest
of
public
safety
in
other
key
departments.
If
we
can
operate
safely
in
the
environment,
we
can
go
out
and
do
what
we
need
to
do
from
a
public
safety
perspective.
D
B
Second
part
is
search
staffing
to
maintain
uh
the
same
quality
of
care
as
we
do
outside
the
pandemic
period.
So
we
have
a
three
level
plan
built
and
because
of
the
early
decisions
to
enforce
social,
distancing
and
lock
down
our
communities,
we're
still
in
level
one
of
three
of
that
level,
one
we
have
two
specialist
units,
we
call
echo
units
or
infection
control
teams
and
they
basically
support
the
rest
of
the
operation.
They
do.
B
In
the
field,
they
dress
out
of
maximum
levels
of
ppe
and
do
high
risk
patient
procedures
such
as
intubations
or
other
airway
skills,
and
they
do
disinfection
and
decontamination
of
units
in
the
field.
In
addition,
those
units
are
doing
some
specialty
things
under
expanded
scope
practice.
They
go
out
on
behalf
of
the
allegheny
county
health
department
and
collect
code,
19
test
samples
from
people
in
their
home,
and
it
helps
with
containment
and
mitigation.
These
people
aren't
coming
out
of
the
community
to
get
tested.
B
So
uh
our
protection
plan
has
multiple
levels,
uh
making
sure
our
personnel
appropriate
vaccinations
for
seasonal
influenza,
making
sure
we're
screening
our
employees
when
they
come
to
work,
making
sure
we're
screening
calls
at
multiple
levels:
screening
them
at
the
9-1-1
center
screening
on
scenes,
using
telemedicine
to
determine
who
needs
to
go
to
the
hospital
versus
who
can
go
home
and
then
the
third
part
of
the
plan
is
really
kind
of
maintaining
operation
and
altered
standards
of
care.
So
we
want
to
maintain
the
same
level
of
care
that
we're
doing
for
everybody.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
everyone
gets
the
proper
care
based
on
their
their
medical
complaint,
so
one
part
of
that
is
kind
of
just
the
telemedicine
part
to
determine
who's
safe
to
stay
home
and
who
isn't,
and
the
other
part
of
that
is
just
be
able
to
operate
in
really
high
levels
of
protection
and
doing
stuff.
Really,
we've
never
done
before
doing
resuscitations
of
really
sick
patients
in
full
biohazard
suits
with
respirators
on
and
that
kind
of
stuff,
and
that
has
gone
very
well
for
us.
B
B
So
much
was
happening
once
we
were
throwing
out
just
very
general
orders
kind
of
skeletons
of
improvised
plans
and
the
people
in
the
field
took
that
and
built
a
new
doctrine
for
us.
That's
worked
really
well,
so
we
up
this
date
this
by
day
we're
lucky
to
have
the
very
strong
relationship.
We
have
everyone
else
within
the
department
of
public
safety
that
we're
interoperable
on
this
planet
planning.
We
keep
all
of
our
people
safe.
B
We
have
very
good
relationships
with
the
allegheny
county
health
department,
department
of
human
services
and
uh
the
hospital
systems
in
the
city,
and
we
kind
of
work
as
one
integrated
team
and
things
change
day
by
day
with
us
every
day,
we're
reevaluating
the
information,
the
data,
the
epidemiology
and
uh
we
flex
things
on
the
fly.
So
we
feel
very
good
what
happened
so
far,
but
we're
two
months
into
maybe
a
12
or
even
longer
month
problem.
So
we
got
to
maintain
our
vigilance.
A
A
A
That
is
doing
your
job,
whether
doing
it
from
home
or
doing
it
out
on
that
street
and
dealing
directly
one-on-one
with
people
who
are
infected
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
pittsburgh.
Thank
you.
um
We
thought
that
it
was
important
to
take
a
moment
at
this
time,
as
we
can
look
back
over
the
course
of
the
past
10
days
to
14
days
of
seeing
that
plateau
of
the
numbers
of
hospitalizations
and
numbers
of
fatalities
and
starting
to
watch
as
it
starts
to
slow
down
and
understand.
A
There's
a
there's
a
moment
where
we
can
thank
those
that
are
still
out
in
the
street
and
still
working
from
home
in
order
to
keep
the
people
of
pittsburgh
safe,
no
matter
what
department
you
work
in
no
matter
what
it
is,
that
is
your
job
as
a
pittsburgh
city,
employee.
The
first
order
of
business
is
that
we
keep
our
people
safe.
