SUBJECT: EMERGENCY VEHICLE PROTOCOL

This Informal Report is provided to advise City Council on staff efforts to educate the public on
emergency vehicle protocol.
Communications staff worked with fire and police to develop a story on the proper protocol for
motorists when an emergency vehicle is approaching. This information was put on the website
and the story was shared through City News on May 6, 2014. Here is a link to the article-

This information was also shared with neighborhoods through NextDoor and the messaging was
sent out through twitter and facebook.
The Communications office plans on periodically sharing this and other safety information in
partnership with fire and police. Regular messaging will help to reinforce the correct protocol for
motorists when they see approaching emergency vehicles.
Please contact Michelle Gutt, Communications and Public Engagement Director at X6248 with any
questions.
