When logging into the 911 system, what channel should be used?

The channel that should be used for logging into the 911 system is Channel 1, known as "EMS DISP." This channel is designated for dispatch communications specifically related to emergency medical services. When entering the 911 system, it is critical to connect through the appropriate dispatch channel to ensure that your communication is routed correctly and that all emergency protocols are followed efficiently.

By using EMS DISP, first responders can communicate effectively with the dispatch center, allowing for the timely relay of information regarding emergencies, unit availability, and other critical updates necessary for patient care and transport. This ensures that the entire EMS team is aligned and can operate in a coordinated manner during incidents, which is essential in critical care situations where every second counts.
