EMS Strike Teams
Services that participate in the EMS Strike Team program agree to provide a vehicle and staffing to be deployed to other parts of the Commonwealth or the nation in the event of a significant need. Typically, a Strike Team service will provide an ambulance; four (4) crewmembers; and supplies for those personnel to be self-sufficient for a period of time.
Strike Teams have been deployed to Louisiana in support of the response to Hurricanes Katrina; Gustav; and Ike; as well as within Pennsylvania. The Teams have also participated in Statewide Training activities including the 2008 drill at Fort Indiantown Gap.
