Emergency Medical Service Awards
Outstanding Ambulance Service Award
The criteria for selection are the following:
- heroic performance on a special occasion, such as a mass casualty response or
- outstanding success in providing year-round community service and in gaining support and involvement of the entire community in its service and educational activities.
In short, an ambulance service will be chosen that exemplifies in some way the outstanding service that all our ambulance organizations and rescue squads provide to Alaska. The Council has developed a standard nomination form to be used for nominations.
