hether they’re first on
the scene or first to help
you recover, first responders
are a lifeline and lifesaver for us
in times of crisis and disaster.
According to the National First
Responders Organization,
first responders include “any
individual who runs toward an
event, rather than away.” They
fill myriad job descriptions
including law enforcement
agents, firefighters, emergency
medical technicians, paramedics,
members of the Red Cross and
officials with FEMA, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
