NO-FEAR Policy Briefs: SCENE SAFER and Crisis Management | |
NO-FEAR is proud to announce its first policy briefs. The first outlines the SCENE SAFER concept for helping Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel evaluate scene safety. This is a practical tool for practitioners and authorities concerned with safe and effective medical interventions during emergencies. The second highlights the importance of bringing public health and crisis management closer together, building on the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic when imperfections in this coordination became very evident. It offers concrete recommendations in anticipation of the next crisis. You can access these and our upcoming policy briefs on the NO-FEAR website. | |
