Dispatch

Public information is the process of informing the public about the operations of and actions taken by Team EMS during emergencies. The public has a right to know about these operations, and public information ensures public awareness about the emergency services provided by Team EMS. Our public education generally is accomplished through the media. Public information can also be provided through public speeches and other presentations.

Public education is the process of changing people's attitudes and behaviour related to safety, as most injuries can be prevented with changed behaviour. Think about how many injuries are due to a person's behaviour: riding a bicycle without a helmet, falling on a loose rug or carpet. These incidents are due to careless or inappropriate human behaviour. Team EMS public education seeks to change a person's attitude about his or her personal safety and wellness, resulting in a change in behaviour.

Our public education program uses many methods to achieve its goal, including presentations at schools, programs at community events, news stories, and public service announcements.
