The documents include EMS Authority policy on funding EMS agencies, program management and reporting requirements, budget and reporting formats.
Ref. No.	EMSA #111
Title:	Guidelines for EMS Personnel Regarding Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Directives
Date:	March 1993 (Revised)
Synopsis:	The purpose of these guidelines is to provide assistance to local EMS agencies in developing Do No Resuscitate (DNR) policies for their jurisdictions. The recent revisions to the guidelines respond to the need for a statewide policy to allow emergency responders to honor a patient's wish to forego resuscitative attempts. Although many local EMS agencies have established policies to allow responders to honor DNR orders in the prehospital setting, there previously was not a standardized mechanism or statewide policy to honor patients' DNR directives. The guidelines recommend the use of a standardized advanced directive form, Emergency Medical Services Prehospital Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Form, a sample of which is included, and the optional use by the patient of a specially inscribed Medic Alert medallion or bracelet.

Ref. No.	EMSA #142
Title:	Guidelines for Out-Of-Jurisdiction EMS Aircraft
Date:	May 1986
Synopsis:	These guidelines address the development of agreements for airborne prehospital response. These agreements should be developed between the requesting EMS agency and the air ambulance or air rescue provider or the local EMS agency in the area of origin. Individuals should use the Prehospital EMS Aircraft Regulations (Air Regs.) when developing such agreements. The necessary issues to be addressed are noted in the guidelines. For EMS aircraft that are used on a sporadic basis, the guidelines recommend a mutual aid or continuation of call agreement be developed between the requesting EMS agency and the provider of the EMS air service. Again, applicable sections of the Air Regs. are specified for the development of such agreements.
Ref. No.	EMSA #151
Title:	Trauma Plan Development Guidelines
Date:	April 1987
Synopsis:	These guidelines provide EMS agencies with the minimum requirements (as put forth in the Trauma Regulations) for preparation of trauma planning documents to be submitted to the State EMS Authority. The document is broken into eight sections: Plan Summary (which includes Trauma System Criteria and Plan Details), Organizational Structure, Trauma System Design and Policy Development, Objectives, Proposed Actions and Implementation Schedule, Fiscal Impact of the System, Local Approval, Data Collection, and Trauma System Evaluation. These guidelines provide a comprehensive tool for the development of trauma planning documents. It may be of assistance to have the Trauma Regulations available for reference when reviewing this document.
Ref. No.	EMSA #161

Ref. No.	EMSA #201
Title:	Emergency Medical Services Authority Disaster Medical Response Plan
Date:	July 1992
Synopsis:	The Emergency Medical Services Authority (EMSA) is the state agency charged with coordinating the state emergency medical response to a disaster. The purpose of this plan is to describe the policies and general procedures governing the Authority's response to major disasters creating mass casualties. To provide context, the plan details the roles and responsibilities of local, state, and private agencies and organizations. It also describes the structure, concepts, and policies under which the response will operate. Although this plan defines a disaster medical response system, the EMS Authority recognized that circumstances may require deviation from this plan. This document should serve as a template for development of both state and local plans and procedures. This plan does not apply to day-to-day emergencies. It addresses the large scale event which overwhelms, or potentially overwhelms, the response capacity of a local jurisdiction. Except where noted, this plan is concerned with the response of the EMS Authority to a catastrophic, or potentially catastrophic disaster. Although an earthquake is the most likely hazard to create a disaster of catastrophic impact, other events, such as hazardous materials releases, explosions, and dam failures also might create massive numbers of casualties.

Title:	Annex D Emergency Medical Services Authority Contents
Date:	December 1989
Synopsis:	This annex presents general concepts and policies to be followed in provideing disaster medical services to people during each operational phase of a natural of technological emergency. It describes California's disaster medical care system and assigns state agency responsibilities.
Ref. No.	EMSA #203
Title:	Casualty Collection Point Guidelines Preliminary Draft
Date:	February 1989
Synopsis:	These guidelines are meant to promote minimal standardization of Casualty Collection Points (CCPs) in the event of a disaster requiring a State medical response. Although the designation, establishment, and operation of CCPs are county responsibilities, standardization is necessary to ensure coordination of State and local responses. These guidelines also discuss CCP operations, including use, site designation, and setup issues. These guidelines describe a fully functional, full purpose CCP. Depending on the magnitude of a disaster and the availability of resources, a jurisdiction may decide that CCPs are not an appropriate disaster response strategy. Instead, the jurisdiction may choose to implement short-term staging areas or other alternatives. In those instances, these guidelines may still prove useful for those more limited operations. [Note that the central theme of this document is that CCPs are a response strategy of last resort. We encourage planning for other types of operations as well, recognizing that CCPs may neither be feasible nor appropriate for all types of disasters or response environments.]
Ref. No.	EMSA #204
Title:	Regional Disaster Medical/Health Coordinator Procedures for Support of State Medical Response to a Castastrophic Disaster
Date:	December 1985
Synopsis:	These procedures have been developed to assist Regional Disaster Medical/Health Coordinators (RDMHCs) and county health officers in unaffected areas of California to provide medical mutual aid as part of the state's overall medical response to a catastrophe. These procedures, based on the concept paper, "The Role and Responsibilities of Regional Disaster Medical/Health Coordinators" specify how the Medical Annex to the State's Earthquake Response Plan, Plan Caldera (the state volcano response plan), and the California Emergency Plan will be implemented at the regional level. They are intended to be specific enough to assist RDMHCs with designing and implementing systems to support an effective disaster medical response yet flexible enough to allow for the wide variety of EMS systems now in place in California. (RDMHCs in affected areas would not be called upon to participate since they would be coordinating the disaster response for their own counties.) A catastrophic event, such as a Great Earthquake in Southern California, could result in tens of thousands of casualties and billions of dollars in property damage. The coordinated assistance of the unaffected areas of the state and the nation would be required to meet the needs of the disaster victims. These procedures assume that California public officials and private businesses will, without hesitation, give the highest priority to providing this assistance.
Ref. No.	EMSA #205
Title:	Procedures for Acquisition for Volunteer Medical Personnel In Response to a Catastrophic Disaster
Date:	August 1988
Synopsis:	These procedures were developed for Regional Disaster Medical/Health Coordinators and County Health Officers to help them locate volunteer medical personnel following a disaster. Following a list of assumptions about the prospective scenario, the Procedures discuss how the volunteer medical personnel should be utilized, planning protocols, and procedures. Additionally, the Procedures address the role of the hospitals and ambulance companies, noting the importance of use of those outside of the disaster areas and their responsibilities as participants in the disaster recovery process.
Ref. No.	EMSA #206
Title:	Medical Volunteer Orientation Disaster Response
Date:	April 1985
Synopsis:	This document addresses organization of medical disaster volunteers. It contains information such as responsibilities of potentially involved state agencies. Specific to volunteers, it discusses potential assignments for volunteers, shifts and how to recognize signs of stress in overworked volunteers and what to do about them as well as functions of volunteers on-site, at casualty collection points, and at Disaster Support Area (DSA) (Los Alamitos) and Satellite DSA's (MEDSATS). This orientation packet concludes, with guidelines, as to how to deal with miscellaneous considerations (i.e. type and severity of injuries of waiting casualties, time considerations), safety considerations (i.e. aftershocks or downed power lines, and limited water supply). Sample forms are attached.

Ref. No.	EMSA #231
Title:	Hazardous Materials Medical Management Protocols (Second Edition)
Date:	February 1991
Synopsis:	These protocols are provided as guidelines to inform health care providers as to how to manage medical problems instigated by exposure to hazardous materials. The EMT's role and training requirements are addressed. Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has requirements for training, and California OSHA is following suit in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. These standards are enforced by California OSHA. It is recommended that agencies remain aware of these requirements in addition to those set forth in this document. This document does not address radioactive materials. Secondary contamination is a concern that is analyzed in this document. Substances of high risk and low risk for secondary contamination are outlined, and suggestions for reducing risk are given. These are a supplement to the basic decontamination protocols which deal with proper attire, and evaluation and treatment of victims. A section devoted to prehospital care is provided, dealing with field response (including organization of incident area), hazard information about specific chemicals, prehospital provider protection (including EMS vehicle equipment for hazardous material incidents), prehospital decontamination and triage, and decontamination of prehospital personnel. Protocols are also provided for emergency department care, addressing preplanning and risk assessment, how to handle the contaminated victim, protective clothing for personnel, decontamination and medical management of the victim, and decontamination of personnel and clean up. Suggested equipment lists are also provided. These protocols conclude with a listing of sources for acute hazards information and protocols for hazardous materials medical management of unknown chemicals and the most common chemicals.

Recommendations are made based upon the findings of the study. They address EMS-Management Information Systems (MIS) data elements (including critical time elements, patient information, care given, etc.), and reports for local EMS agencies. An extensive section of sample summary output reports is attached, including an appendix with data survey forms used in the study, and local EMS agency activities indexed by type of local EMS agency.
