Follow-Up From February 8, 2005
Ambulances and First Responders	It was agreed that services will be referred to as Transport and Non-Transport services. Ambulances are licensed and thus there is an accurate listing of these services.

The list of Assessment respondents is our best list of these services until Rule 113 takes effect.	Dennis and Marianne will obtain further information on Rule 113 will be obtained.
Status of WEEPP	It was also discussed that further research needs to be done on the need to provide treatment in a disaster without the permission/direction of medical control.	Dennis and Marianne will research on treatment in a disaster without direction from medical control
