Joe Lillard

"Not my direct responsibility but did learn some important info."
"I attended to get caught up on some of the MFI materials (and knowing Mr
McGowan). It was a great presentation. I knew all of it, already. I had hoped for
some new information but I think this presentation is exactly what the average
stakeholder needs to hear."
Chris Hiles
IEM
"I got several good pieces of information to use as our state continues its
state level mass fatality planning efforts. Dennis mentioned several points
including removal of large numbers of bodies and who will do that, that we have not
yet addressed in our plan."
Phyllis Beasley
"I actually had my fire chief attend this with me, and to have Dennis validate
much of the things that I have been pushing for years reall struck a chord with him.
An excellent presentation, one of the best I have participated in."
Steve Gluck
US Army
"Interesting topic. More on the psychological aspects of the responder and
families would be of value."
"I have previously been exposed to many of these concepts, but they were VERY
well presented here, and I gained a fresh perspective on many of them. Well
done!"
Raymond M. Serowik
Broome County (NY) Emergency Management
"Good review of history of MFI, and a good general discussion of how to prepare.
Unfortunately this project (like many others) is easier to say than do."
"Most excellent and timely presentation. Job well done. Thank you,
Dennis!"
Isabel McCurdy
"Good national overview, but would have perferred a bit more on the challanges
that the local communities face when dealing with a Mass Fatality situation. I.E. Top
ten Problems."
"Very well done."
"The presentatuion was very good and very basic. I am looking for something in
more depth. I am a board certified pathologist involved in disaster
management."

"Very timely albeit difficult subject that must be dealt with in a planning
fashion rather then a reactive one. Your outstanding speaker and SME gave us a lot of
places to start. Thanks."
Bob Davisson
Benton Co. MO EMA
"Articulate and well-informed speaker presented a very good overview of mass
fatality considerations and preparedness. Once federal CONOPS is finalized, would
suggest distributing it or providing URL to participants."
Gary J. Kleinman
US DHHS/ASPR
"Wow! Mr. McGowan's presentation was excellent especially in terms of caveats
when approaching planning for Fatalities Management and the various options available
for human remains holding/processing. I will definitely use his advice from the
presentation and start the planning process immediately for Fatalities
Management/Mortuary Affairs immediately. Thanks immensely."
Scot Freeman
Aberdeen Proving Ground Office of EM
"This was extremely beneficial to me. I am a Public Health Network Coordinator
responsible for Emergency Public health planning in my District in New Hampshire. As
a planner this has given me more insight into who should be involved in the planning
process. Thank You."
Stephen Allen
New England Center for Emergency Preparedness
"This is out of my field of responsibility, and certainly out of my level of
expertise at this time. The information presented was thought provoking and will be
good reference material for future planned involvement in EM. Thanks so
much!"
"Excellent presentation."
Peggy Fulton
SCDMH Division of Inpatient Services
"The presentation was well planned introduction to the problems and assets need
in a mass fatalities incident without being bogged down with details. Great outline.
Thanks for your time and effort."
R. Rathbone

"Very good presentation and opportunity I think it was great that you kept this
presentation to 1 hour and the topic was one that you don't find very much current
information and examples for. I work as the operations division director for the
maine Emergency Management Agency and also am involved with planning and training for
this states DMORT team and procedures. I would be happy to share any information
that you may want to review. You may contact me at email
mark.belserene@maine.gov."
Mark Belserene
State of Maine Emergency Management Agency
"Excellent and thought provoking."
Thom Carr

"Topic of Mass Fatalities was useful for an Emergency Manager and Safety
Specialist (me). Thanks."
Phil McCarthy
"Excellent presentation on subject matter."
Eduardo

"It was an excellent presentation for people approaching MF issues for the first time or so. "
"The presentation gave a very nice overview of the various aspects of Mass Fatality events that need to be considered as we put together incident plans."
Fred Fowler

"Very insightful and relevant."
Glenda
NMT
"Needed information. Helpful PowerPoints."
"I needed a primer of things to think about as I begin developing a plan, and he provided many thought provoking issues."
"I was able to access and download the transcript and the slides from the mass fatalities presentation with Dennis today and I wanted to let you know that I thought it was very well done. Having come from Central Florida where we understand the critical need for planning for mass fatalities it was good to see and hear the information that Dennis provided. I look forward to participating in future presentations."
