NVERS EMS Programs

NVERS EMS Programs This page is designed to disseminate information for the NVERS EMS Programs (formerly N VA EMS Council).

For over 40 years, the Northern Virginia EMS Council provided coordination and oversight to the very large and complex EMS system in Northern Virginia. In 2024, NVEMSC made the decision to merge with the Northern Virginia Emergency Response System (NVERS), and we are pleased to announce that the merger was finalized, effective January 6, 2025. Who We Are:
NVERS is a robust emergency preparedness a

nd response alliance of public safety and healthcare delivery systems that supports regional collaboration and capacity building in all facets of emergency preparedness. Together, the coalition is building emergency preparedness and response capabilities that can’t be achieved alone by facilitating a cross-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary approach to preparedness. This resilient partnership of public safety systems saves lives, time, and economic resources during major emergencies and disasters in Northern Virginia. Active participants in NVERS include Fire/EMS, Law Enforcement, Emergency Management, Hospitals, Public Health, Information Technology, Public Information, Transit/Transportation, Utilities, and State and Federal partners. NVERS operates as a dynamic regional organization that excels in solving common preparedness and response challenges. How NVERS Approaches Regional EMS:
