Public Information

Borger EMS has a public relations program established to assist the general public in learning more about us and the services that we provide. We also use this program to educate the community concerning general health issues they may have. We visit schools and speak to the kids of the community, let them tour our emergency units, and answer questions they may have about emergency services. Follow the links below to learn more about a few of these specific health issues.

To schedule a public event, inquire about a community CPR class.please contact:

Year-Round ICE

If you have a cell phone, make an entry in your contacts list labeled “ICE” (In Case of Emergency). Under the “ICE” listing provide a contact number of someone that you want notified in case of an emergency. Keep in mind that you should discuss this with them prior to entering this information into your phone so they understand that they may receive such a call. Make sure that the person that you list as your “ICE” has your medical information.

 In the event you have an emergency; when you are unable speak due to your injuries or sickness and you have on your cell phone, maybe paramedics, police or fire department personnel may be able to retrieve the ICE (contact) number and get more information about you or will be able to notify someone during your time of need.

 You may consider more than one “ICE” number to store in your phone and list them as “ICE 1” and “ICE 2”. If you have space to enter the contact’s name in a notes or more information section, this will allow the responder to know who they are calling.

 Pass along the word. This could be a call that could save your life, a way of gathering vital information or to provide a way for emergency workers to notify someone in your time of need. 

Considering that most new cell phones have an automatic contact entry of "In Case of Emergency", the idea has really been accepted.
