Historical Notes
Following the September 11 attacks, Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMATs) from across the country were dispatched to the World Trade Center disaster site. Steve and Wendy Nesheim from Atlanta, Georgia, responded with the DMAT GA-3 Team. Initially charged with responding to the Pentagon, GA-3 changed plans and headed to New York due to the scope of devastation at Ground Zero. Once on site, they were charged with caring for any injured survivors and administering aid to uniformed responders and volunteers working on the pile. The Nesheims and the rest of their team officially arrived in New York in the second week of October and worked ten-or twelve-hour shifts a day for two weeks.
