The griffin (or gryphon) crest has been associated with the Morgans of Tredegar, Wales and related families for many centuries.
The griffin is a mythical beast, part eagle and part lion. It was known in Britain from Roman times. In Ireland the worship
of the sun in pre-Christian times was often represented by the Griffin. It later became a symbol of gold - 'yellow light'
Meaning: Valiant soldier - to the death, Vigilance.
Or (Gold) Generosity
Red (Gules) Warrior or martyr; Military strength and magnanimity
Blue (Azure) Truth and loyalty
Left Shield of the then GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN, a former sovereign state of Germany, lying in the south-west corner of the
empire, bounded N. by then kingdom of Bavaria and then grand-duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt; W. and practically throughout its
whole length by the Rhine, which separated it from then Bavarian Palatinate and then imperial province of Alsace-Lorraine; S. by
Switzerland, and E. by then kingdom of Wurttemberg and part of Bavaria. The Esswein, Schilly, Birkenmeier, Ferenbach
and Allgaier families all came from the Grand Duchy from the 1850s through the 1890’s to unite with the Maurer
and Morgan families in St. Louis.
Right Shield - Definition: mason -- der Maurer
German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name for a builder of walls of stone or brick, from an agent derivative of Middle
High German mure, German Mauer ‘wall’ (from Latin murus ‘wall’, especially a city wall). In the Middle Ages the majority of
dwellings were built of wood (or lath and plaster), and this term would have specifically denoted someone employed in building
defensive walls, castles, churches, and other public buildings.
Combined connotes Vigilance and Resilience (Mitigation)

(7) Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM): A Program to Address Issues of Secondary Traumatization
Among Disaster Workers
Description: This presentation is a Critical Incident Stress Management Program (CISMP) that is designed to anticipate and mitigate the emotional
impact of external and internal critical incidents upon individuals and groups who deliver disaster recovery services.
This comprehensive program provides for immediate and sustained responses to assist disaster workers in effectively minimizing the emotional
detriment of stressful incidents that commonly result from interactions with disaster victims. These disaster workers are further compromised with
potential for secondary traumatization as they listen to the pain and losses of disaster victims, work longer hours daily and extended work weeks
without sufficient restful breaks.
This multi-tactic early intervention program is a structured, peer-driven, clinician-guided and supported process designed to provide interventions
to address disaster-related mental health issues. Primary emphasis is placed on individual peer support for immediate action. Specialized
individual and group support, assessment, and referral to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and other resources are provided by a stress
management clinician.
Peer Partners participate in a training program which includes:
Ø An overview of stress assessment and management
Ø Critical/intervention orientation
Ø Identification and utilization of peer support techniques
Ø Event pre-planning, event briefings, defusings and debriefings
Ø Protocol for responding to an incident
Ø Basic information on workplace violence
