• Who is likely to be available to help in an emergency? EAP Planning: Ask Yourself These Questions
Is this person responsible, able to follow directions, and
willing to train for and practice an emergency response?
What skills does each person have?
• What is the best way for an ambulance to enter the
campus/stadium/arena? Are the gates locked? Who has
keys? Is this person always available?
• How would EMS bring a gurney to the
field/court/gymnasium/pool? Are there stairs? Are there
double-doors? What other obstacles might EMS
encounter on the way to the patient?
• What is the role of campus security or police? What is
the role of the physician or medical director? When is
this person available on-site?
• How far away is the nearest level I trauma center?
