Students from the University José Matias Delgado in San Salvador have recently offered the idea of a having a puppy as a Mascot representing the Comandos de Salvamento (image above). Students that offered the idea state that they chose a dog since it stands for faithfulness, agility, smart, friendly, and is used during search and recovery operations. What is your opinion? Please comment on this post. Are you in agreement of having this puppy, nicknamed, “Comandín” by the students as being our mascot?
We ask EMTs, delegates, professionals, friends and visitors to participate in offering comments.
EMS crews from Comandos de Salvamento participated in a mass casualty response simulated disaster of a make believe airline crash at the Comalapa International Airport. Red Cross, The Salvadoran Fire Dept, Green Cross and Comandos were observed and supervised by “CEPA” Comisión Ejecutiva Aeropuertaria in order to demonstrate skills in case of a mass casualty incident.
CDS transported ten patients to nearby hospitals that were also participating in the simulated excercise. Triage tags were used on “patients” depending on the level of care needed. Below is a universal triage tag with symbols designating patient care .
CDS presents direct testimony from a resident of Guadlupe, Verapaz named Josué Ricardo Dimas. Jose is a graphic design student who grabbed his small canon digital camera the morning of the mudslide disaster in November. These images are a testimony to the power of Salvadorans and the human spirit to help your fellow man when they most need help.
