    INFORMATION ABOUT THE MAILING LISTS ORIGINATING FROM: MedicCom.org
    
    SITREPS
    -------
    SITREPS distributes situation reports about developing disasters
    and other disaster related and/or mitigation information.  Situation
    reports will be posted from the major responding agencies such as the
    Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Disaster Medical
    System (NDMS), US Geological Survey (USGS), Volunteers in Technical
    Assistance (VITA), the American Red Cross (ARC), United Nations Dept
    of Humanitarian Affairs (DHA) and others as they become available.
    Situation reports are reposted from other sources on the Internet or
    other electronic information sources and are unedited.  Most of these
    reports are provided automatically from their source agency.
    SITREPS was designed to be a "one-stop shopping" sources for
    disaster and emergency situation reports and hopefully will be an
    invaluable tool for the emergency response community.  All messages
    are archived and stored on MedicCom BBS for future reference.

    DMATNEWS
    --------
    DMATNEWS is directed toward members of the National Disaster Medical System
    Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMAT).  This list contains postings that
    announce information relevent to NDMS or DMAT development.  It is linked to
    the National Disaster Medical System BBS and echo's all messages posted on
    the NDMS BBS Network in the area by the same name.  Postings to the DMATNEWS
    list will find their way to the NDMS BBS Net and visa-versa.  People who are
    not members of a DMAT will prehaps find the messages interesting, but they
    may be somewhat cryptic as they sometimes require a current knowlege of
    NDMS/DMAT happenings.  It is suggested that if you are not a DMAT team
    member, that you don't subscribe to this list.  All messages are archived
    and stored on MedicCom BBS for future reference.
