However, in order for them to do this, they need your cooperation. Here's where you come in: 1. Don't park on the street or in public parking lots after a 3" or more snowfall. 2. ' Whed'you shovel your driveway, put the snow on the right side of your drive as you face the street..... then the plows won't push the snow back into your driveway. , 3. Don't shovel or blow snow into the street. 4. How about adopting a fire hydrant? You can keep the one closest to your home free of snow.... just in case of an emergency. 5. Maintain a safe distance (100') when traveling behind a snow plowing truck. .

The baby sitter had suffered a seizure. The boy ran to the phone and dialed 911. The 911 dispatcher asked him questions, assured him an ambulance was on the way and directed him to administer some basic life saving techniques. The call ended when the ambulance arrived. • The system that allows dispatch- ers to give emergency medical advice is referred to as Emer- gency Medical Dispatching or EMD. Recently all of our dispatchers and several police officers com- pleted a national emergency medical dispatch certification program. We are proud to say that we will soon be the first community in Northeastern Illi- nois to provide .a medically ap- proved and supervised emer- gency medical dispatching pro- gram. This program will be under the direct supervision of Dr. G. Skinner, Project Medical Director for the Southern Lake County Emergency Medical System. Using the EMD system devel- •oped by DR. J. Clawson of Salt Lake City, Utah, dispatchers use cue cards containing appropriate questions for most medical emergencies. These instructions provide callers with practical in- formation on starting treatment while paramedic units are re- sponding. In addition to giving immediate aid, the dispatchers also collect information to give to responding paramedics so they have pertinent information be- fore they arrive at the scene. For example, if a person calls to report that someone is having trouble breathing they will be asked the following questions: Is he alert and able to talk? Is he choking? Is he pale, sweaty or changing colors? Does he have any heart prob- lems? Does he have asthma? The instructions callers are given depend on the answers dis- patchers receive. If the victim were choking dis- patchers would begin instructing the caller in immediate life sav- ing techniques such as the Heimlich Maneuver. This in turn creates "zero response time" for emergency care. The Village of Deerfield wishes to acknowledge and thank the following employees for success- fully completing EMD training. Mike Cramer George Filenko Betty Ganschow Marie Gawne Mary Anne Glowacz Elise Jernstrom Dieter Lenz Bonnie Mander David Moon Robert Ogden Brent Reynolds Marcea Ross Katherine Uhlir David Walsh Sherry Wood Additional thanks go to to the Deerfield Bannockburn Fire De- partment for their assistance in the development of this program. WE HOPE THAT YOUR NEW YEAR IS A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE ONE FLOOD INSURANCE The Village of Deerfield participates in the National Flood Insurance Program which offers federally backed flood insurance for all buildings, whether they are in a floodplain or not. Flood insurance covers direct loss caused by surface flooding and local drainage problems. A mandatory purchase requirement applies to all forms of federal or federally related financial assistance for buildings located in a Special Flood Hazard Area. This includes loans and grants for the purchase, construction, repair, or improvement of buildings in the Special Flood Hazard Area, including machinery, equipment, fixtures, and furnishings contained in such buildings. For more information about flood insurance, contact your insurance agent. Before a person can receive a loan or other financial assistance from one of the affected agencies or lenders, there must be a check to see if the building is in a Special Flood Hazard Area. The Special Flood Hazard Area is the base (100-year) floodplain mapped on a Flood Insurance Rate Map. Copies of the map are available for review in the Village's Department of Community Development. Many lenders and insurance agents have copies as well. It is their responsibility to check this map to determine if the building is in a Special Flood Hazard Area, although many communities provide assistance. If you would like to determine whether your property is in the Special Flood Hazard Area, you can call the Department of Community Development at 945-5000. NEW TRAIN STATION Although hampered by some unexpected delays, METRA pp. still plans to open the Lake Cook Road train station by late Spring. The parking facility, will be operated by METRA, not the Village, and all 500 spaces will be daily fee. More specific information will be available in future issues of D-Tales. UNDERPASS PROJECT Work has begun by the Cook County Highway Department on the Milwaukee Railroad Underpass Project. This involves reconstructing Lake Cook Road under the tracks. Four lanes of traffic will be rerouted south of Lake Cook Road during the construction period, estimated to be two years. There will be utility work going on throughout the Winter with roadway construction beginning in earnest next Spring.
