SPOTLIGHT: TIM   

On July 29th, Forsyth County Deputy Fire Chief Dwight Clark, recognized as an international expert in extrication and the do’s and don’ts of working with hybrids, is the champion for Forsyth County’s Traffic Incident  Management Team (TIM).
He invited  the county’s first responder decision makers  to a, “What-If” incident seminar. The What-if incident selected for the 29th was, “What-If we have a school bus crash...What do we do and who’s in charge” His timing could not have been any better, with the new school year rapidly approaching. We encourage other agencies to follow suit. Set up meetings to discuss your, “What-Ifs”.
Fire Chief Danny Bowman, Battalion Fire Chiefs, the Fire Training section, Col G. Moss with the SO / Operations Commander, uniformed Majors, Precinct Captains, Lt’s, Sgts., EMS, 911, Northside Hospital Forsyth,  Forsyth County School Transportation System and the Director for the EOC, were all there. All agreed that more discussions were needed to develop a course of action should such an event ever occur so a ‘next meeting’ is scheduled.
The Task Force commends Deputy Fire Chief Clark for taking the initiative for developing an operations plan for such catastrophic events. We also support the first responders and Chief Clark for pushing department heads to come together to develop such a plan. It’s never easy to get a buy-in but we encourage all agencies to come together, set up a TIM Team and work jointly to mitigate the event that best suits your community.
The Metro Time Task Force provides facilitators, presenters, brochures, videos, training, information and any other assistance that will help promote the TIM Team Concept. They’ll come to you. It’s FREE!
Please contact Rory Howe, or @ 770-827-4956, with the Task Force if you have any questions. If you feel that you need some help in putting a TIM Team together, give him a call.

gohsWhen Georgia put its Move Over Law on the books in 2003 only about half the states had a law like it.  Now, all but three states have Move Over Laws and motorists are finally learning to use this common sense rule of the road to save lives on our highways. News Release here.    
   You can read the complete text of Georgia’s Move Over Law at www.gahighwaysafety.org .  And, you can learn more about this nationwide trend toward Move Over laws at http://www.moveoveramerica.com/ .
   At GOHS, our advice to all drivers is to “slow down and save the life of someone who may someday save yours.”  Thanks for your highway safety partnership sharing this lifesaving driver advisory.
