EMS Workforce Capacity Survey

December 1, 2020

As the nation continues responding to COVID-19, it is important that we continuously assess the impact that the virus is having on our own workforce. The IAFC, along with other national EMS organizations, are requesting fire chiefs complete a survey to report how many of their personnel are on medical leave, whether they have experienced any layoffs or furloughs, and which types of PPE are most in need. The data from this survey will be helpful in communicating the most pressing EMS needs to the federal government.
