EMS Dispatches during Hurricanes Irene and Sandy in New Jersey

Bucher, J., McCoy, J., Donovan, C., et al. (2018). EMS Dispatches during Hurricanes Irene and Sandy in New Jersey. (Abstract only.) Prehospital Emergency Care. 22(1): 15-21.
The authors compared emergency medical services (EMS) dispatch trends during two hurricanes to better inform future planning. They found that calls peaked on day 2 after landfall and many were specific to older residents. Readers are encouraged to take these findings into consideration while also considering storm patterns when planning for and staging EMS resources pre-storm.
