Providing a medium that helps to share each other’s EMS related news, information and stories is an important part of our progress in serving Missouri’s EMS professionals. 

With our new website (a content management system) it is much easier to accept and publish your articles and stories.

Upon review and approval, article submissions may be included in actual editions of CODE 3 or published in other special sections of the website as well as in future archives.   

We also offer RSS (Really Simple Syndication) which allows other websites to post articles from the MEMSA website.  This helps to spread information to more people more quickly! 

Another feature on our homepage is DIGG, which you will find in the lower left menu.  DIGG allows you and others to post articles on the DIGG news site and build awareness of articles found on the MEMSA site. 

Types of submissions may include tributes, news & information, pertinent updates, best practices, “at the scene” stories, kudos for EMS professionals or agencies, and more. 

As a registered CODE 3 recipient, you’ll have easy access to the “submit articles” button which leads to an easy-to-use text box page where you drop in your title and story.  After that you just click the SAVE icon (a picture of a floppy disk located at the top right of the screen).  Besides reading the newsletter or special sections, readers will also be able to search for articles by keyword. 

We do not guarantee that every submission will be published and MEMSA maintains final editing rights.  Upon approval and editing you will receive your submission by email before we publish it – to be sure it reflects your original intention. 

All articles should be EMS related and limited to 400 – 600 words.  If you have a topic that requires additional content, contact us to discuss it. 

Don’t think you’ve got much to say?   What about: 

• Recent emergency calls that went considerably well due to planning and practice
• Community relationship building practices your organization may be involved in
• Innovative and efficient ways your organization deals with limited resources
• Grants and fundraising information

• Enhancements and/or advances in your community’s EMS system
• An EMS professional in your organization who deserves recognition
• Questions, comments or ideas about upcoming legislation issues

 Any article focusing on important Missouri EMS issues will be considered.
