Project: First Responders

Categories: First Responders Project

Welcome to the First Responders Project!

Mission

First Responders (Emergency Responders) are those who have specialized training in the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence, and the environment. These personnel are among the first to arrive and provide assistance at the scene of an emergency, such as an accident, natural disaster, or terrorist attack. First responders typically include paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, firefighters, rescuers, and other trained members of organisations connected with this type of work.

The First Responders Project's mission is to honor the lives, and highlight the profiles, of First Responders worldwide. In some cases, we honors those who died during the course of their duties, or what is commonly called a Line of Duty Death (LODD).

Goals

The goals of this project are to:

  1. Identify profiles of First Responders;
    • Where duplicate profiles exist, merge the profiles into the lowest possible number,
    • Where profiles do not yet exist, add profiles to WikiTree, adhering to the Styles and Standards,
  2. Review and work First Responder profile suggestions.
  3. Attach First Responder Categories and/or First Responder Stickers to profiles where applicable;
  4. Document a clean and well-written biography, including sources for the First Responders; and
  5. Work to connect profiles to the main WikiTree family tree (see the Connectors Project for more information or assistance).
