Dear EMS1 Subscriber, It's been one year since a mudslide destroyed a small Washington town, killing 43 people. We take a look back at the emotional toll recovery efforts had on responders and everyone involved in the tragic event. We also highlight research on pediatric survival of cold water drownings after a toddler makes a miraculous recovery thanks to 101 minutes of continuous CPR. And a toddler in D.C. has died after choking on a grape; an investigation is underway to find out why the closest ambulance wasn't dispatched. — From the EMS1 Team
