What does TDMS mean in HEALTHCARE

The goal of the TDMS is to provide emergency medical and rescue services in order to respond quickly and efficiently in disaster situations. It is designed to collaborate with local, state, and federal agencies, as well as volunteer organizations, in order to provide expert disaster relief.

The TDMS provides both personnel and resources necessary for providing relief during times of disasters. This includes providing access to trained medical personnel, equipment such as ambulances, communication systems and vehicles needed for transport during a disaster event, logistics coordination between local governments and resources requested from outside sources. Additionally, it can coordinate training activities which aid in disaster preparedness so when a situation arises we are ready.

The Texas Department of State Health Services oversees the operations of the TDMS on behalf of the Governor's Office and often calls upon trained medical professionals from across the state who volunteer their time during times of need. Additionally there are support staff provided by partner organizations such as FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) that also work alongside members from various branches of law enforcement including fire departments.

No, the TDMS can respond to any type disaster whether it be natural or man made. This includes hazards such as hazardous materials release due explosions or spills due extreme weather events such floods or tornadoes.

Yes! Donations help cover operational expenses related directly to managing response activities carried out by our teams before during and after a disaster situation arises. Your contribution goes towards supporting our volunteers who put their lives at risk every day they deploy into a dangerous environment just so that they can help save others.
