NEMSAC Recommendations
NEMSAC meets three or four times per year in open and public meetings to deliberate on specific policy issues affecting EMS systems throughout the country. The Council has five standing committees that draft advisories and recommendations for the full Council’s consideration. Final advisories contain several recommendations for NHTSA and the Federal Interagency Committee on EMS (FICEMS) and can be found below:
