Abstract

Emergency response providers-these groups are responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence, as well as the environment in the early stages of an incident. Emergency response providers need to be afforded with commensurate compensation, benefits, incentives, and protection to safeguard their welfare as well as assure support to their dependents and survivors if an injury, a permanent disability, or even death occurs. Such provisions encourage emergency response provider participation and promotion of recruitment efforts that help to build and sustain more resilient emergency response provider communities throughout the country.
