Dora is in the Diaster Medical Assistance Team and had gone through some training earlier this year.  She was finally deployed for the first time this past Friday to help with the Sandy disaster.  Only a few of the Colorado team (including Dora) got picked to join a Georgia team that was to be deployed.  I talked with Dora today; she along with the team have been lucky to be placed in a hotel in Manhattan for lodging so far.  Some teams had to stay in cots during their service.  All the volunteers there spend a lot of time waiting around for assignments. Dora finally was sent to an apartment complex in Conley Island yesterday checking in with each tenant to make sure that they were ok.  She also helped writing some prescriptions to ensure the people having adequate medication supplies.
