Kathleen Blanco, Louisiana's Governor, has signed a contract authorizing a private contractor (Kenyon International Emergency Services) to commence work in recovering the dead from New Orleans. Curious about what kind of company specializes in this sort of thing, I took a look at Kenyon's website (http://www.kenyoninternational.com).
Under the About Kenyon section, the following three points are stressed:
"The history of Kenyon’s response to mass fatality incidents dates back to 1929, when Kenyon provided services to Imperial Airways in England, where a plane crash claimed the lives of seven victims."
-What a proud history. . .
"Of equal importance to Kenyon’s role in response to aviation related incidents is their involvement in non-aviation related disasters."
-Wow,they do non-aviation related disasters, too.
"Kenyon’s role over the years has not changed—respond to mass fatality incidents in a thorough, professional manner, honoring the memory of the deceased, and providing comfort and solace to the surviving next of kin. Kenyon stands ready to serve you."
-Well, uh, that's good. I guess. . .
Now I know who to call in the event I have my own personal mass casualty event. But do they offer competitive rates. . .?
By the way, if you enjoyed reading this entry, you may also enjoy reading Mass Fatality and Casualty Incidents: A Field Guide by Robert A. Jensen - now available in paperback from Amazon.com.
