SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On 09-18-17 at 13:17 Vermont State Police responded to a reported two vehicle crash on VT RT 100 in Rochester just north of the intersection of VT RT 73.  Vehicle 1 was operated by Jeffrey Steinkamp and travelling north.  Vehicle 2 was a fuel tanker owned by CV Oil of Pittsfield, VT and operated by Jay Mcintyre travelling south.  As the two vehicles approached Steinkamp crossed the center line.  Mcintyre moved as far to the right as he could but Steinkamp continued into the south bound lane and collided with the left rear tires of the truck.  The impact damaged the rear wheels and suspension on the truck causing Mcintyre to lose control.  The truck went off the west side of the road and overturned.  The collision also caused Steinkamp’s vehicle to overturn in the south bound lane.  The tanker was partially loaded with fuel but was not compromised and did not leak.  Earl’s Truck Repair recovered the tanker while Deerings Towing recovered the passenger car.  VT RT 100 was closed for several hours during the recovery as a precautionary measure.  Both operators were transported to Gifford Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.

Emergency Responders Recognized

 

WATERBURY, VT – A local Emergency Management Director and long-time University of Vermont administrator have been recognized for their contributions to emergency preparedness and response in Vermont.  The awards were presented during the Vermont Emergency Preparedness Conference this past weekend.

 

The recipients were:

 

Vermont Local Emergency Management Director of the year:

Mariah Whitcomb, Thetford

 

Mariah Whitcomb’s leadership as the EMD of Thetford during the recent flooding in her town on July 1st sets the standard for how a proactive EMD can benefit a community.

 

Thanks to Whitcomb’s preparedness activities, the Thetford Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was well placed to respond to the storm and then to rebuild after the flooding subsided.  She maintained contact with the State EOC requesting resources as water rose, and worked with state agencies like Vermont Emergency Management and the Agency of Transportation to ensure her town not only rebuilt, but could also navigate the federal assistance process

 

“Her efforts before, during, and after the storm illustrate how an Emergency Management Director can impact the people she serves,” Vermont Emergency Management Director Erica Bornemann said.  “Mariah is worthy of this award for her high standards and example she sets for how an EMD should function.”

 

Northeast States Emergency Consortium Emergency Manager of the Year:

Bill Ballard, University of Vermont

 

Bill Ballard serves as the Emergency Management Director for the University of Vermont.  Over the last several years Ballard has built UVM’s emergency management capabilities and managed UVM’s Emergency Operations Center during a wide-range of incidents.  Those events ranged from winter storms and fires to graduations and an annual Naked Bike Ride conducted by UVM students (an incident for which there is little specific emergency management training).

 

Bill also works in the State EOC during exercises and events, and is a trained Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program Evaluator and an Emergency Management Accreditation Program Assessor.  Ballard will retire from UVM after a 50-year association with the school.
