Trauma Regions
There are 8 trauma regions in Texas. North Central Texas Trauma Regional Advisory Council “NTTRAC” covers the region that includes Cedar Hill, which runs from Abilene to Dallas and in the 19 counties surrounding that corridor. This area contains more than 27% of the Texas population. There are 4 AmBus’ in North Texas, Cedar Hill, Frisco, Sherman, and Fort Worth
Uses
The AmBus is a state, regional, and a local resource that can be used in natural disasters such as tornadoes or flooding that we have experienced in our neighboring cities of Desoto and Lancaster. It may also be deployed to assist hurricane victims along the coast. It most recently was deployed to the fertilizer plant explosion and disaster in West, TX.
