From my experience working with many EMS organizations we are still a very conservative group, but there are a few supporters of Social Media in the EMS industry as I learned from Richard M Huff (@richmhuff) Chief of Atlantic Highlands in New Jersey and Journalist for the New York Daily News. We spent a week with him at the EMS Expo and found that there is a growing consensus that EMS truly needs this to improve communication among EMS professionals everywhere!

EMS Expo in Atlanta was a huge success from a marketing, promotion, social media, podcasting, streaming live, video production standpoint. So much was accomplished with such a little crew I still sit back in amazement. Carissa Caramanis O’Brien, Chris Montera, Chris Eldridge, Jamie Davis and Greg Friese all participated to make this a major success. We even were able to host the First Ever EMS Expo Live Tweetup at the STATS Bar in Atlanta on Thursday night. With over 35 people joining the party and more joining online live as we streamed interviews and commentary about the EMS Expo it was apparent that we just made history! Here is another short video clip from the EMS Expo Live!
