In response to

What three points, details or references from the text did you follow up on to advance your understanding of the complexities of emergency response?

1) I did more research into our role and mental health in the EMS system as EMTs. I found this article to be particularly insightful: Managing Psychiatric Emergencies (http://www.emsworld.com/article/10931747/managing-psychiatric-emergencies).

2) Bettering and improving EMS care by bypassing EDs and transporting patients to mental hospitals.

(http://epmonthly.com/article/pilot-project-trains-ems-to-bypass-the-ed-with-mental-health-patients/)

3) Learned about FEMAs policies and programs for mental health following a disaster in the U.S. (https://www.fema.gov/recovery-directorate/crisis-counseling-assistance-training-program)
