Oregon Disaster Medical Team Charity Profile
Oregon Disaster Medical Team (ODMT) is an independent non-profit 501(c)3 organization of volunteer healthcare professionals who are willing to plan, train and respond to provide relief healthcare services when local, county and mutual aid reserves are inadequate due to a mass casualty incident or disaster event.
The team is configured to respond rapidly within Oregon in the event of disaster. One of the primary missions of ODMT is to address urgent and emergent medical issues in the initial 72 hours of a disaster event, before outside agencies can be of assistance. Experience around the country has shown that pre-designated teams of disaster healthcare providers can respond more effectively to assist overwhelmed local resources.
ODMT is truly a statewide team, with members located throughout Oregon. Because team members will have primary employment and family responsibilities in their home area in the event of disaster, squads from other regions of the state may be activated in combination or sequentially to the affected area. ODMT's goal is to have members throughout the state, to provide comprehensive and rapid response.
