Abstract:
The National Association of Emergency Medical Services Physicians (NAEMSP) advocates for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to play an integral role in all phases of disaster management -preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. An inherently strong EMS system mitigates some of the negative impacts of disaster by supporting a more resilient population and a robust response capability. EMS must be a sustainable resource that is able to continue to provide care to the community even after a disaster response. This resource document will outline the basis for the corresponding NAEMSP position statement on the role of EMS in disaster management.
