i think it shows really the community we have here and the culture we have at scott & white. i will say, we've continued over the course of the last few years to engage our partners at darnall and across the region to make sure we're continually improving our response to disaster and emergency such as this. i feel like those efforts have paid off tonight with huge dividends. >> how did the hospital get ready, what did you do? >> there's a tremendous amount of human resources that go into that. we have a very well coordinated command center that we use when we have incidents like this. that was activated again tonight. there are a core group of people that come in to man that, every time it's activated. then we call in certain core people. and of course we also have the good people who work here who are interested in helping, volunteering their time, coming in from home, giving me phone calls and asking me if i need anything. i know that glen and harry have gotten the same request as well. so the community as well as the staff have been extremely generous in their showing. >> i
