           SUMMARY  :  Proclaims May 18, 2014, through May 24, 2014, as  
          Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week.  Specifically,  this  
          resolution  makes the following legislative findings:

          1)It is estimated that there are over 840,000 emergency medical  
            services personnel in the United States, including over 80,000  
            in the State of California.

          2)Emergency medical services systems consist of emergency  
            physicians, emergency nurses, emergency medical technicians,  
            paramedics, firefighters, educators, administrators, and  
            others who engage in thousands of hours of specialized  
            training and continuing education to enhance their lifesaving  
            skills.

          3)Access to quality emergency medical care dramatically improves  
            the survival and recovery rates of those who experience sudden  
            illness or injury.

          4)This is the 40th anniversary of National EMS Week; and, the  
            theme of EMS Week is "EMS: Dedicated for Life." which means  
            first, it demonstrates that emergency medical services  
            providers are dedicated to saving lives, and second, it  
            expresses the sense of duty to aid others that is inherent in  
            the profession and stays with an emergency medical services  
            provider for life.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  None
