        This is just a 2 month reminder of the Emergency Services FTP
site at Chico.  I'd like to get more files to put in it so that all
Emergency Services can find something of interest there and we have a nice,
centralized repository.

        These are the categories we have now for FTP files:

        Disaster (Files on disaster response, handling, etc)
        EMT (For those in the emergency medical profession)
        Fire (For those Fire type people)
        Hazmat (For those crazy Hazardous Materials people)
        Misc (for files that don't fit anywhere else)
        Police (All law enforcement)
        SAR (Search & Rescue)

        Anyway, here's the standard info file explaining the rest...

                     EMERGENCY SERVICES ANONYMOUS FTP SITE


Anonymous FTP Site Name           :  hairball.ecst.csuchico.edu
Anonymous FTP Site Numeric Address:  132.241.1.108

Anonymous FTP Site Login Name     :  anonymous
Anonymous FTP Site Password       :  <your E-mail address>

The beginning directory structure for the emergnecy services area is:

        /pub/ems

File Topics Include:

        o  Search & Rescue
        o  Hazardous Materials (Hazmat)
        o  Fire
        o  Emergency Medical Services
        o  Law Enforcement

In the past, I have looked for emergency services FTP sites and other
information on Internet.  With the exception of a few newsgroups and
some Gopher locations, I was unable to find a site centralized site that
held information that would be of interest to emergency personnel.  I created
this directory structure at Chico's site in order to fill that void.

Please remember, this is an anonymous FTP site.  If your system does not
have or support FTP, you will not be able to access this site.  This is NOT
a TELNET site either.

For those who aren't familiar with FTP, it stands for File Transfer Protocol.
It provides a very limited shell that allows you to upload and download
files.  For more information on FTP, please refer to your system documentation
or your system administrator.

I would love to fill all the directories with programs, documents, training
ideas, etc.  If you have anything that you feel would be beneficial to these
areas, you are welcome to upload them via FTP to /pub/ems/incoming.  Please
send me E-mail describing what the uploaded file is and where it should go.
I will then move it to it's appropriate directory.

If you have any questions, comments, requests, etc. please let me know via
E-mail.
