Information Readiness (who to contact for various locations)

[hurleyskis]

Well having just completed my Rescue course i decided it would be wise to gather all the contact info i can into one location as far as emergency contacts go. I'd like to group the information by dive locations (Cape Ann, Cape Cod, South Shore, Rhode Island etc.)

Of course there are the obvious ones like D.A.N., and 911, but i want to get info on local hospitals/doctors with dive medicine experience, recompression treatment locations etc.

If anyone can provide information i will organize it and send it to anyone who wants it.

Thanks
John
