DISASTER MANAGEMENT:
Dr. Basri has a fascinating background in disaster management, being on-site for some of recent history’s most devastating events. He was at the World Trade Center on the morning of 9/11 and was the first physician to the remains of the south tower that day. Dr. Basri also provided disaster management immediately after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and provided service for two years following the event.
On January 15th, 2009, Dr. Basri was the first and only physician at the water ferry terminal immediately after the Miracle on the Hudson incident, attending to the passengers and crew of USAir 1549 as they were brought ashore. In his book ‘Brace for Impact’ (yet another excellent achievement), Dr. Basri describes the day according to his experiences as a physician and firefighter. As a result of his service on that day, he was asked to be a treating physician for the WTC monitoring program of the FDNY.
When the devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit Japan in 2011, Dr. Basri offered his medical and disaster management expertise, as well as assisting during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Harvey.
