🚨 BIG NEWS: The U.S. EMS Compact just grew to 28 states.

Connecticut, Arizona, and Alaska have each enacted the Recognition of EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate Compact (REPLICA), joining the 25 states already participating in the nation's EMS workforce mobility network.

✅ Connecticut (26th) — signed by Governor Lamont, with a forward-thinking regional activation strategy designed to bring New England into the Compact network.
✅ Arizona (27th) — signed by Governor Hobbs on May 22; actively completing implementation and next in line to go fully operational.
✅ Alaska (28th) — passed the legislature with a 39-0 House concurrence vote; effective January 1, 2027.

With 28 states and more than 450,000 EMS clinicians, the Compact continues to grow. The EMS Compact reduces licensing barriers, strengthens disaster response, and supports military families across the country.

We’re looking forward to hosting this great EMS Week training opportunity right here in Broken Bow this Friday.
LifeNet North Platte, Great Plains Air, and TriCity LifeNet will be providing a unique joint ground and air medical training focused on real-world coordination, landing zone operations, aircraft safety, and scene management.

This hands-on training gives local responders the opportunity to work directly with the crews and aircraft that support our region every day. Building those relationships and understanding how we operate together helps improve safety, communication, and patient care when it matters most.

We invite all EMS providers, firefighters, first responders, and public safety personnel from surrounding agencies to come join us.

📍 Broken Bow Ambulance Service & Broken Bow Airport
📅 Friday, May 22, 2026
