The American College of Emergency Physicians’ 48-page EMS Week Planning Kit is available online. The kit helps plan such things as sending out press releases, scheduling media interviews, visiting local schools and other community organizations, and getting information about an EMS organization out to the public.

The 34th annual EMS Week is May 20-26. This year’s theme is “Extraordinary People, Extraordinary Service.” The ACEP kits can be downloaded from www.acep.org/emsweek. The EMS Week Web page has a variety of additional information.
