Christopher S Cini, Mph Email & Phone Number

I am a Paramedic (20 years) and Emergency Manager (5 years) with a wealth of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) skills, training, education and supervisory experience from both the municipal and private EMS worlds and extensive municipal Emergency Management experience.I completed a Master's in Public Health with a self-designed EMS and Disaster Management concentration in 2011. My final paper for my Inter-Agency Disaster Management class was "Have We Learned? Comparing Major Incident Management Before and After the 9/11 Attacks" where I concluded that a decade later division between response disciplines (LE, Fire, EMS, EM, etc.) remains the key barrier to effective incident management. One of my key goals has been the reinforcing multi-disciplinary cooperation, communication, training, education and Unified Command among all responding agencies and jurisdictions.I have evolved in municipal Services/ Departments where staff and resource shortages have given rise to multi-disciplinary roles and responsibilities where each person needs a strong and wide-ranging base of skills and knowledge in all aspects of the Service and Departmental responsibilities.I believe in progressive and clinically-based EMS and the inclusion of EMS, Public Health and Emergency Medicine in all aspects of Emergency Planning, Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery. I have championed preparedness education and training, Mass Casualty, Pandemic and Public Health Emergency Planning, Incident Management and cooperative multi-disciplinary approaches to streamline incident management and emergency medical care during all-hazards incidents. I have lead the way in EMS safety measures including adoption of ANSI II Hi-Viz gear, Emergency Vehicle Operations training, purchase of TCCC equipment for trauma care by both Police and EMS, and the design of safer ambulances.

Listed skills include Emergency Management, Preparedness, Ems, Emergency Medicine, and 18 others.
