Welcome back, URI EMS Alumni!

Come check out what we’re doing! We invite all former members to drop by our headquarters to see what URI EMS has become, what we’ve done and where we’re heading. We are developing a network with alums to help us see where we’ve come from. If you are an alum, please Contact Us with your updated information.

Don’t worry, you won’t get called for hours! We would like to collect stories, pictures, ideas and a network of professionals to serve as a resource to our current members. If you would like us to restrict your information for specific uses, please let us know.

Do you have any pictures of URI EMS through the years? Do you have a story to add to the website? Please let us know!

 

WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY!

  • DO NOT MOVE THE PATIENT unless the area is not safe (fire, etc)
  • Dial 401-874-2121 from your cell phone or 4-2121 from a university phone
  • Tell the dispatcher your name, location and a telephone number you can be reached at. Be as precise as possible.
  • Describe to the best of your knowledge what happened & how.
  • Do not hang up until the dispatcher hangs up first.
  • Clear the area of people who are not relatives or witnesses.
  • Have someone await the arrival of the ambulance at the entrance to guide the ambulance crew in.
  • Ensure that all access paths are clear for the ambulance crew.
