Paul Bollinger of Medical Teams International alerted me to this video from Sri Lanka EMS that is available on YouTube. The video will be going live as a Public Service Announcement to educate citizens about calling 110 in case of an emergency.

You could make a video like this for your service with not much more than a handheld camcorder, free video editing software, and a YouTube account. Have you done a video like this for your agency or service? Share the link in the comments. What questions do you have about making your own public service announcement (PSA)?

Learn more about the Sri Lanka EMS system and medical teams international in episode 41 of the EMSEduCast – the podcast by and for EMS Educators.
