Bill Curnow > Mass Disaster Drill at Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport - KCBD 5/15/2008 Photos from exercise. First responders were called to the scene of a downed 747 at the Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport Thursday morning. However, the call-out was not real. Instead, it was part of a full scale mass casualty exercise as required by the FAA every three years. Airport agencies were joined by the Lubbock Police Department, the Lubbock Fire Department, EMS, and troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety. The American Red Cross and Lubbock Medical Examiner's office participated as well. "Communication is always a key in something like this. Communications between different agencies," said Lt. Chris Daniel. "If we can work together through an event like this, and learn what each department is responsible for, it's going to help things run smoother in the future should something like this happen." Authorities are now evaluating the effectiveness of this drill and looking for areas needed for improvement. Footage © 2008, KCBD 11, Lubbock, TX

Bill Curnow > #mainImageLink {display:none} Red Cross Is Crucial When Disaster Strikes - KAMC 8/02/2007 "As I stood there watching my house, the fire sort of gradually go out, I didn't have a clue where I'd be that night and they just stepped in and looked after everything for me, it was really a lifesaver," says Roger Haldenby, who lost his home to a fire back in February. On that day, he certainly didn't expect to lose everything right before his eyes, but the Red Cross volunteers that stepped up to help are some that he won't soon forget: "It's emotional to remember and talk about it again., but I've come through it with support from friends, and the volunteers that turned out that day, especially the Red Cross." Providing housing, food, and clothing, they're here for the people of the South Plains, no matter what the emergency. Says Haldenby, "You hear about the Red Cross showing up for big disasters like hurricanes, but they're there for one person disasters too." Bill Curnow has been a volunteer for more than 2 years: "I'm not law enforcement or medical, but this is my way of giving back to the community that's given me so much." Curnow is just one of about 20 dedicated volunteers that reach out when disaster strikes: "We provide immediate emergency assistance for the first few days...what we like to say is we give our clients the opportunity to get their feet underneath them again and figure out what the next step is." The volunteers are ready and waiting to help people pick up the pieces when disasters shatter lives. Haldenby says it's invaluable to have them there at times when you really need them. Curnow explains why he volunteers: "There's a satisfaction in being able to serve and help and in being there in somone's time of need." And for Roger Haldenby, he's simply grateful for the help and for his life: "When you lose all the little things in life, as long as you're still alive, what does all that count for? Not too much."
