| The EMS Dashboard is live at Myescambia.com under the EMS page as of 1-18-2022 |
The EMS division of the County's Public Safety Department have established an informational dashboard that will be updated daily so citizens can see the types of calls we run and the numbers of transports we provide daily and weekly. The screen shot, above, is the first iteration of the dashboard which the public can access at this
link.
The initiative was announced to the commissioners via an email earlier today. From EMS Chief David Torsell:
"Commissioners,
When I first became the Chief of Escambia County
EMS, one of the immediate items I wanted to do address was to provide more
transparency and information about EMS services to our citizens. I wanted a way
to convey what we do in EMS, why we are so busy, and to give a bit of an inside
look our service. With that, I had the idea to have a dashboard created that
would allow citizens that access our EMS home page to be able to see some of
our daily, weekly, and annual call totals. Through a collaborative effort, our
team of EMS, IT, Communications/PI and 911 Dispatch was able to create an EMS
dashboard, approved by our Public Safety Director and County Administrator. I
am proud to inform you that we now have a live EMS dashboard on our EMS home
page."
