EMS Association began meeting in November of 2002 following a tornado, which swept through our community just two months prior. Following the tornado, a post-incident analysis was conducted which revealed that, while Morgan County possesses many EMS-certified personnel, as well as several different EMS response agencies both transport and non-transport, there was little to no mutual-aid EMS traini
ng among services and providers. In addition, Morgan County possessed very little Mass Casualty EMS supplies at that time. EMS Association would regularly meet each month of every year with the exception of the month of December to train our local EMS providers mutually so that in the event of our next disaster, every agency responds with the same manner of care. As training trends shifted towards more regional offerings and to an online format, the mission of our organization had to change as we realized our attendance was slowly diminishing. We now focus our mission on supporting the public safety community in Morgan County through our Mobile Support Unit and two Mass Casualty EMS Supply Trailers that can be deployed anywhere in the county to support our First Responders and the residents during times of disaster. In the past, we charged a minimal fee to be a member of our organization. We have shifted away from that since we are no longer providing a monthly service in return. Now, we look to the community for assistance in keeping our response units stocked and ready for deployment. Through our partnership with the Morgan County Community Foundation, all donations are tax-deductible. The Community Foundation maintains our books and collects any donations we may receive. 100% of your donation goes directly to supporting our mission. Our President runs our organization in a strictly volunteer capacity so he can ensure your donation is put to the best and most effective use.
