NASHVILLE, TN – The 7th annual Disaster Response & Recovery Expo is once again poised to retain its leadership role in the emergency response industry.  Currently the exhibit floor is already 85% filled with over 70 exhibitors coming from all regions of the United States. Held in conjunction with the 2008 National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) Training Summit, the Disaster Response & Recovery Exposition is the perfect opportunity for Local, State and Federal public health and emergency preparedness practitioners and policy makers to discover the latest equipment, technologies and services available. In addition, members of the National Disaster Medical System, a federal program designed to aid states and local governments when natural or man-made disasters occur, will meet face-to-face with exhibitors showcasing vital medical and disaster relief equipment and supplies. The products and services to be represented at the event continue to mirror the breadth and growing sophistication available to first responders.  A sample of the technology to be seen on the show floor includes: rapid deployment shelters, mass decontamination systems, RFID tracking, infection isolation systems, biological detection systems, portable X-Ray units, pandemic flu kits, wireless alert notification systems, water purification units, and human extraction assistance robotics.
