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.

🔔 Local Hero Alert❗️ We have some exciting news to share.
Our EMS department has teamed up with local Delaware business, Waterford Signs who designed and manufactured these reusable/cleanable face shields. Pictured here on our EMS Chief Jeff Fishel is a prototype for our first responders.
As you know, there is a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) and this face shield will provide another layer of protection for our employees out on the front lines.
A huge thank you to Tim Moore and Scott Hall (married to Dawn Hall, former Auditor's Office employee and now Delaware General Health District employee and still part of our DelCo family) and all the staff at Waterford working hard to make this equipment for our first responders!

OK, Delaware County, just because we're Staying At

OK, Delaware County, just because we're Staying At Home does not mean we have given up the thing that makes us the most Number One'd county in the state of Ohio -- our competitive spirit! There is a very cool tool out there called the Social Distancing Scoreboard and, using digital data from anonymous mobile devices plus other variables, it is scoring who is doing best at social distancing. Right now, we are No. 4 in Ohio and those upstarts in #UnionCountyOhio are No. 1. Go to this website and click on Ohio in the map to get to our data: https://www.unacast.com/covid19/social-distancing-scoreboard. And then start not moving so we can show everyone in Ohio who's best at Staying At Home! #StayAtHomeDelcoOhio
