Disaster Response Team
Thank you for your interest in being part of AMR's Disaster Response Team(DRT). Members of the DRT will be assisting communities in times of need, using their dynamic skills and compassionate spirit to have a positive impact on the lives of others.

This site is intended to give you additional information about the DRT and allow you to begin the process of being part of this team.

But you may be wondering, why did AMR establish a Disaster Response Team?

As the nation's leading medical transportation company, AMR must be ready to respond to emergency events wherever they might occur across the United States. This means having a team of professionals prepared now and in the future to deploy immediately to wherever local governments and communities need us, or when we are called upon at a national level.

As with previous disasters to which we have responded, hundreds of employees may need to be deployed to affected areas to provide medical care, establish communications systems, maintain a vehicle fleet, and offer other key support services to those rendering aid.

 
AVAILABLE POSITIONS:
DRT Emergency Medical Technician-Basic
DRT Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic
Ambulance Strike Team Leader
Ambulance or Emergency Medical Task Force Leader
 
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:

Before continuing, you should know the following:

  • You are volunteering to be deployed to a "Theater of Operation". Conditions in the area may be drastically different from those where you ordinarily work. Conditions for shelter, food, power, equipment, facilities may be rudimentary - as a volunteer you agree to work in these variety of conditions.
  • If deployed, you must be able to be on-site where needed within 24 hours (travel arrangements will be made and paid by AMR).
  • If deployed, generally this will be a 15-17 day assignment.
  • If you are a current AMR employee who volunteers and is deployed, some aspects of your employment will change during the period you serve on the DRT, including your shift, number of hours worked, compensation, and working conditions. If you are a unionized employee, other terms, conditions, and/or obligations may or may not apply. Except as provided herein, this does not change the terms and conditions of your employment with the Company or create an employment contract.
  • Although you may already be committed to responding to state-declared disasters through Emergency Management Assistance Compacts (“EMAC”) or other agreements, these agreements do not necessarily prevent you from participating in disasters in other areas. We recognize that many emergency medical services (“EMS”) providers are regulated by local or state agencies and may have restrictions when it comes to responding to out-of-area disasters. The EMS needs of your local communities are primary and participating in this provider network is not intended to undermine those obligations.
