Yes IMERT is in Illinois but IMERT has responded to other states for disasters. IMERT is medical team of doctors, nurses, paramedic's, and emt's. IMERT also has none medical members for different command type duties. For example if diaster struck and a medical team was needed and IMERT was called they would have members set up hospital type base to treat patient before transport to a hospital by land or air. The structure of IMERT is like the NRP, and NIMS are set up, Do not respond till called for. If a diaster is overwhelming for local responders then IMERT is called if to large for local and IMERT then federal help is called for. At first it was just for state of Illinois but after hurricane Katrina IMERT respondes to diasters in other states. Hope this helped if not just send a reply. Medic36411 just a old paramedic.

Yes I agree the training could be closer to Southern Illinois closer than Nashville Illinois It is a long haul for me. I live so far south I can throw a rock in the river lol. But it is very organized there is a chain of command. There is four regions in Illinois region 1 Chicago as far as I am concerned Chicago could be excloued from Illinois and Springfield as long we have that Governor we have. Region2 Northern Illinois, Region 3 Central Illinois,Region 4 Southern Illinois

I have worked in the south side of Chicago for eight years. Now live in Southern Illinois and would not give it up for nothing. Response time might take 10 to 15 minutes or longer at times. When there is more monies given to EMS providers to place more ambulance in the more real areas. We will deal with it do our job the best we can.

I was searching the different forums and I came across one about IMERT. I'm a member of IMERT. IMERT is ready for any natural or man maid disaster in the state of Illinois. We have gone to other states if we were called. A comment was made about the boot camp. Boot camp we go over all the rules/by-laws and review the equipment.
