You are correct in saying that it is always good to think ahead of emergency planning before emergency happens. I know for a fact that hospitals do it all of the time. They have what they call "emergency drills" in that they practice and practice emergency situations and then when the real emergency comes up, they are ready to handle it. Thank you.

The vehicles that would be used are the police, fire engines, and the ambulance. These are the first responders that come onto the scene and start helping the victims. Sometimes, a case worker or social worker needs to come to the scene as well so that they can help with the report, but they usually come much later into the scene. Purplespider
