Meet some more of our heroes - Krista and her son

Meet some more of our heroes - Krista and her son Reese. Krista is one of our paramedics. She and Reese drove 4 hours round trip this weekend to pick up the first batch of reusable gowns and boot covers from Stitches USA, a vendor we found in Walnut Creek, OH. They brought back the first 100 gowns and 100 pairs of boot covers. We'll be getting another 700 gowns just as soon as they're made and sharing them with our first-responder colleagues in the county. Let's keep lifting each other up, Delaware County!

OK, highly competitive Delaware Countians, let's get counting for the 2020 U.S. Census! Right now, we are sitting in fifth place overall for Ohio counties with a response rate of 48.1% -- which is great, but we've got Medina, Mercer, Auglaize and Holmes (Holmes!) ahead of us. Holmes (Holmes!) is leading the state with a 51.6% response rate. Don't believe us? Check out this map: https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates.html. And then, if you haven't already, go to https://my2020census.gov/ and get yourself counted! #shapeyourfuture

A big shout out today to the Operations Department

A big shout out today to the Operations Department at the office of our Delaware County Engineer, Delaware County, Ohio. Late Sunday night, we got a report from a resident about tire dumping near Alum Creek (see his pic on top). By Tuesday morning, our guys had found all the tires and were taking them away (see our pic on the bottom). Coronavirus or not, our regular work goes on!

Edited to add: Joe Okuley is the resident who notified us. He had discovered the tires during one of his regular walks in the area to pick up trash. He had moved many of the tires himself up from where they had been pitched off a bridge. Joe gave us permission to thank him publicly, but he would also like people to "not be so dumb." We agree, Joe!

This guy. Let's hear it for Justin Lowery, a paramedic with our EMS team. He restrung 1,000 N95 masks with new elastic. The masks were from an older batch and were just fine, but the elastics were getting a little crunchy the way old elastic bands can. So he restrung them all for his first-responder colleagues throughout Delaware County. Keep lifting each other up, Delaware County!

Delaware County - we are raising each other up! Let's give a shout out today to Buckeye Valley Local School District. This is their high school principal Jim Albanese, who dropped off a whole lot of much needed Personal Protective Equipment supplies to our Delaware County Emergency Management today.
Remember: we are in need of more PPE items but you need to contact Delco EMA first to make arrangements for a drop off. Email them at delcoema@co.delaware.oh.us.
First responders throughout the county can use: Masks (N95, surgical, and procedure; but please NO homemade or 3D-printed masks); Face shields; Goggles and eye shields; Isolation or surgical gowns; Tyvek suits; Nitrile gloves; Shoe covers; Thermometers (forehead scanner or one with disposable probe covers); Disinfecting wipes such as Clorox or Sani-cloth wipes; and Hand sanitizer.
