Greetings from The Loomex Group Team:

It is truly amazing how, as a nation, we have come together to recognize and appreciate the work of those of you that are still working in essential services are doing to serve and protect our communities during these challenging times.

Over the last week, our team of emergency planners have heard from some of you, whether it was looking for validation or for someone to vent to. Others have reported that all the planning and training they have received has been paying off for them; this is why The Loomex Group Team exists, with people and a passion to make a difference before profit.

For those of you that are in the middle of COVID-19 response, do not forget how important daily documentation is. At the end of it all, your notes should recreate the chain of events. They won’t be perfect, but they will help you when it comes time to conduct debriefings or defend your actions throughout the response.

All of the emergency plans around the world never truly reflected the response to COVID-19. For that reason, it will be critical to conduct in-depth debriefings to identify what improvements can be made to your emergency response plans. As trained, experienced incident debriefing facilitators, we will be there for you as your friends and colleagues when the time comes.

Remember that as you move into week 2,3 or 4, the adrenaline starts to wear off, and fatigue can set in. Make sure proper nutrition, physical activity and rest are included in your response planning.

As a reminder, we are here for you 24/7 should you require assistance or simply wish to bend our ear, we are here for you.

Warm regards,

Trent Gervais, President & CEO |705-775-5070 | tgervais@loomex.ca
