If your agency needs to get a press release, announcement, opinion piece or other information out to other agencies in the state, you’ll want to consider using MEMSA’s website as a key medium!

If you’re registered to use our site, then you can submit your information, post a press release and even get a story or newsworthy information published in CODE 3.  Registration takes seconds.  Just click the registration link on the login form (top right).

Our suggestions are that you forward this article to the public relations contact at your agency.  (Just click the forward icon at the top right of the article).  Also, keep in mind that just about any EMS related information may be worth posting or publishing on the MEMSA site.  Be sure to create a way to remind yourself that MEMSA needs to be a part of your public relations and media plans.  If you have a list of contacts you keep for these occasions, please include MEMSA today.

Remember that you can enhance your agency’s website by linking our articles to your site.  Create RSS feeds to have stories instantly updated to your site – you do no work!  What is RSS?  Really Simply Syndication!  If you haven’t used it before, don’t worry.  It’s really simple.  Just look for the orange RSS box on the left side of our homepage.

Last idea for now – consider your position at your agency.  Are you a fire chief, a paramedic, an instructor, EMT or RN?  Do you need a way to connect with others in your field or position?  What about creating your own forum on our site?  It’s easy and can help you to give and get helpful information.  Give it a try!

Web traffic helps Missouri EMS – if we work together to enhance communications, something good is bound to happen!
