Preplanning for EMS (Electronic book text)

Preplanning for EMS introduces EMS administrators, supervisors, and paramedics to pre-incident planning. This book includes information on prior planning and inspection of high-patient-load facilities such as nursing homes and hospitals; or large events, such as concerts and political conventions. It is imperative to prepare for evacuations, triage, patient tracking, and coordination with other agencies. Preplanning for EMS focuses exclusively on EMS concerns and also reflects many of the principles of NIMS.
