EMS.GOV Goes Live!

From Drew Dawson, Director of the Office of Emergency Medical Services in NHTSA

The Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS) at NHTSA is pleased to announce the launch of EMS.gov. This innovative Web site, developed to meet the varied needs of the EMS community, contains not only the latest news from OEMS – but also functions as a portal to other EMS Web sites and resources. Here you’ll find background and updates on groundbreaking Federal initiatives and programs, including Emergency Medical Services for Children, the National EMS Information System, the Federal Interagency Committee on EMS , Enhanced 9-1-1 and Next Generation 9-1-1, the National EMS Advisory Council, and more.

Clearly our Nation’s EMS Community is too diverse for a single Web site to meet all its informational needs. But by providing links and contact information for other trusted resources, EMS.gov strives to provide EMS professionals and stakeholders with the closest thing to a “one-stop shop” for Federal EMS Information available online today.

DWI Victim Fatality Sign bill

Hello all,

I just came from the Executive Session of the Public Works and Highways Committee, which voted 15 - 1 OUGHT TO PASS on the DWI Victim Fatality Sign bill.

You each contributed valuable and persuasive testimony at the public hearing, and have my deep gratitude for joining me in the effort to pass this awareness and education effort. I am honored to partner with you to combat impaired driving on NH highways.

I will keep you informed as to when HB 1590 will be heard on the House floor.

Sincere thanks,

Rep. Eileen Ehlers
