EMS Prevention Week, modeled on “Fire Prevention Week”, would afford us a natural opportunity to enhance public safety by increasing education and awareness of pre-hospital injuries. EMS Prevention Week could become a nation-wide event, much like Fire Prevention Week, where local and regional organizations and agencies reach out to children, their parents, teachers and schools, churches, synagogues and mosques, other local institutions, and the general public to create educational and awareness programs to reduce the incidence of preventable injuries. I believe that the programs will grow organically, with local communities and organizations designing educational programs, such as their own bureau of EMS Prevention Unit, to meet the needs of their local populations.
