Does my event need EMS?
The Mayor's Special Events Task Group has mandated that on-site EMS personnel must be present for all events, large and small. On-site First Aid is crucial to event safety and to ensure the well-being of participants and staff.
The Department of Fire and EMS has expressed that a necessary provision of planning any special event involves the consideration of First Aid and/or Emergency Medical Services. To ensure the safety of attendees at a special event, the event planner must ensure appropriately licensed/certified on-site medical personnel are present.
