Emergency Medical Personnel
To WIPP Transportation Incidents

This is a survey conducted by the New Mexico Department of Health
along the north/south WIPP transportation routes within New Mexico
(see other side for a map of the routes). The survey is designed to
gather information about WIPP medical preparedness from management and
responder perspectives. The survey will be used to determine training
and equipment needs. There are four survey forms to gather the
information.
1. Emergency Medical Services - Local Responders Survey
2. Emergency Medical Services - Directors Survey
3. Hospital Emergency Department - Staff Survey
4. Hospital Emergency Department - Directors Survey
The survey forms will be mailed separately, one to every EMS provider
and every EMS agency registered with the Department of Health.
Surveys for emergency department managers and employees will be mailed
to identified hospitals. A site visit has been tentatively scheduled
in the Emergency Department (or as noted) at each location listed
below. You may bring the survey to the location listed if you have
questions or additional comments. Please call 505-476-7000 ex. 123 to
