What Is Event Standby?

Event standby is on-site medical coverage provided by trained EMT crews stationed at your event with a fully equipped BLS ambulance. Our crews are there to respond immediately to any medical incident — from minor first aid needs to emergencies requiring ambulance transport.

Whether you're organizing a 5K run, a multi-day music festival, a film shoot, or a corporate retreat, having professional medical standby ensures the safety of your attendees, meets venue and permit requirements, and gives you peace of mind.

All standby crews are employed West Coast Ambulance staff operating under Medical Director oversight. We work with you to develop a coverage plan tailored to your event's size, duration, and risk profile.
