Emergency Medical Services personnel are essential features of any disaster management effort. Whether paid or volunteer, paramedics are usually the first to arrive at accident sites, making split-second life-saving decisions during every shift. Training is comprehensive for EMS providers and paramedics, because no two disasters, emergencies or accidents are alike.
