Abstract:
During periods of civil unrest, emergency medical services (EMSs) clinicians will be called upon to provide care to those impacted, including those who are actively instigating violence. Working during periods of civil unrest poses significant operational and security challenges to EMS leadership and clinicians. This review provides best practices for EMS operating during periods of civil unrest through analysis of after action reports from Baltimore, Maryland; Charlottesville, North Carolina; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Washington, DC.
