Key points
The map uses pie charts to represent EMT personnel by type and placed at centroid of ZIP code. They were overlayed on choropleth map of county-level population size. In general, the spatial distribution of the agencies shows a random pattern, but the total number of personnel by agency appears to vary slightly by location and county population size.
Data sources
The purpose of this map was to display approximate locations of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies and total number of personnel employed at each agency in order to show EMS capacity by location. This map was provided to state EMS directors and other EMS partners to help inform them on EMS capacity to respond to acute cardiovascular events.
