Floyd County plans quarterly emergency roundtables and schedules EMS report
Summary
Officials described a recent emergency roundtable with sheriff, 911, fire and EMS and said the county will host quarterly meetings to improve interdepartmental coordination; an EMS annual report and ambulance scheduling will return to the board in April.
Dan summarized an emergency roundtable attended by county representatives, the sheriff's office, 911, fire and EMS. He described the meeting as constructive and said the county will set quarterly cross-department roundtables to maintain communication and identify operational needs.
"Everyone was receptive, and it was a good chance for us to get another point of view from what was needed in the county from certain departments," Dan said.
Board members discussed ambulance workload and hotspots; one member said the county has four EMS hotspots and receives at least two related rescue calls a week. The board scheduled follow-up conversations and set an item for the first April meeting for Dustin to give the annual ambulance report and address specific concerns.
Ending: The board directed staff to continue interagency coordination and to return with the ambulance/EMS annual report at the next meeting.
