Commission on Aging to review COVID-19 lessons The Clark County Commission on Aging has scheduled a discussion for next week that could offer some fresh insights on emergency responders and COVID-19. During its regular meeting at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, the commission is set to hear from early and first responders about what they’ve learned during the crisis. Meeting guests will include Robert Milano — fire division chief of emergency medical services with the Vancouver Fire Department — and Jacleen Simons — regional preparedness program manager with the American Red Cross, Cascades Region. “Many older adults, along with people of all ages, were not prepared for the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic,” reads a news release from the county. “There have been many complexities to navigate, from figuring out how to get groceries and wearing masks to quarantining or becoming ill. During many emergencies, the fire department is the first on the scene to address immediate problems and the Red Cross comes next to help with early needs like food, shelter and emotional support.”
