Hello:
       All of Ontario's 187 ambulance services have generic disaster plans
and local plans....

       What I am looking for is how did the ambulance services in the
tornado areas fair, what problems did they encounter etc.

      I agree that Ontario EMS should spend training dollars on teaching
disaster related courses and execute mock disasters. In my 10 years in
Ontario EMS I have not had 10 minutes of disaster training other then the
courses I have taken on my own.
