In this webinar, hosted by NHTSA's Office of EMS, you'll learn: - Why crisis standards of care planning is so critical in the prehospital setting
- How one state is preparing for a surge in demand for EMS services
- Implications for local EMS leaders who may have to implement crisis standards of care in their communities
