In Emergency Care
A A Ambulance officially intro-
duced its new C ritical Unit, possibly
?lhe most technologically advanced
medical vehicle in the United States,
, at Emanuel Hospital & Health Center.
“ It ’s virtually a surgical room on
’ wheels,** says Peter Robedeau, Presi­
d e n t o f A A Ambulance "T his new
'’ C ritical Care Unit ranks our city tops
in emergency medical transportation ”
Over a year in development, A A ’s
/C ritica l Care Unit is designed specifi­
cally to bring more timely emergency
’ services to patients. Il carries advanced
equipment that is normally reserved
for the hospital, allowing more care to
, be done in the ambulance.
"This customized vehicle allows
\ i s to bring a fu ll team on transport,”
.says W illiam Long, M .D , Director o f
''Trauma and Life Flight Services for
Emanuel Hospital "It greatly enhances
the care we can provide our patients

Governor Seeks Federal
Earthquake Assistance
to public facilities.
Since FEM A officials estimate
that private, uninsured losses due to
the quake did not reach a level that
would qualify for assistance under a
major disaster declaration, the Gover­
nor w ill also sign a letter to the U.S.
Small Business Adm inistration seek­
ing a separate emergency declaration
that would allow aid such as low-
interest loans for repairs to private
homes and businesses
Governor Roberts also signed and
executive order certifying her deter­
mination that extreme damage oc­
curred in Clackamas, M arion and
Y a m hill Counties,and instructing the
Oregon Em ergency Management
Agency to coordinate all efforts to
secure Federal or other earthquake
assistance. (Steve Corson, 378-6307)
After reviewing damage assess­
ments prepared by the Federal Emer­
gency Management Agency in coop­
eration w ith state and local officials.
Governor Barbara Roberts has asked
for federal emergency assistance due
to last week’ s earthquake.
“ I t ’ s clear that we were very
lucky last week,” Governor Roberts
said. "Damage for that magnitude
o f earthquake could have been
far worse. Nonetheless, state and
local governments, businesses, and
private fa m ilies and in d iv id u a ls
did suffer substantial losses, and we
need federal help to mitigate those
losses.”
The Governor has sought a “ ma­
jo r disaster” declaration from Presi­
dent Clinton for FEM A aid that would
assist local governments w ith repairs
Earthquake Hazard Maps
Available To The Public
G A M ES
Metro and the state o f Oregon
w ill have available a newly-released
earth-quake hazard map and two ac­
company ing technical reports begin­
ning A p ril 1.
The map outlines areas most
likely to be affected during an earth­
quake but focuses only on a small
portion o f the metropolitan region.
That small portion—called The Port­
land Quardrangle-w as the subject o f
a year-long pilot project by the O r­
egonDepartm ent o f Geology and
M ineral Industries.
The quadrangle is w ithin the
. city ofPortland The northern bound­
ary is the Columbia River. The west­

ern boundary is along 36th Avenue,
and the so uth ern b ou nd ary is
Marquam H ill and Tibbetts Street.
Metro and the Department o f
Geology and M ineral Industries re­
cently received $700,000 in federal
funds to expand the pilot project. The
two agencies expect to begin studying
additional portions o f the region ad­
jacent to the Portland quadrangle
w ith in the next two months. Studying
the entire region depends on contin­
ued federal funding.
Cost o f the map and accompany­
ing technical reports is $10, which
covers a small portion o f the two
agencies’ staff time and material costs.
One o f the reports explains the data
that went into producing the hazards
map. The other report outlines the
damage and loss likely to occur in a
16-block area w ith in the quadrangle
during a hypothetical earthquake.
The map and reports can be pur­
chased and picked up at two locations:
