First Responder
The flow goes as follows: Certified First Responder, Emergency medical Technician- Basic, EMT- Intermediate, and EMT-Paramedic.
The community is the first responder in a disaster because the community is there and on site. When any accident happens, it happens in a local community. The community knows what happens and starts taking care of it. If you cut yourself, the community applies a bandage. If there is is a car wreck, the community checks on the people. They might be hurt. One might have a broken arm. He might need his arm in a sling. The community examines what happened. Then things get a little bigger. If there is a bus wreck, the local community examines the situation. It asks the question, "Can we take care of these people in our hospital or do we send some elsewhere?" The local community responded, evaluated the situation, and called for outside help. The local people made the initial evaluation.
The role of the first responder is to survey the scene, makes sure it's safe, request more help if needed and minimize loss of life or damage to property if possible.
