By Kristina Jergensen , The North Platte Telegraph 07/26/2004
From left, Stacy Olea and Barbara Dethlefs, both of Ogallala Community Hospital, and Rhonda Theiler, director of Sandhills District Health Department in Ogallala discuss ways to respond to a fictional scenario of a bio-terrorism attack in Nebraska.

This question was the theme of a disaster preparedness seminar Tuesday sponsored by the West Central District Health Department and attended by more than 50 people from area hospitals, emergency agencies covering a 16-county area, nursing homes, police and fire departments, health departments, the media and service organizations such as United Way and The Salvation Army.
