Five Quad Volunteer Ambulance Service

Five Quad Volunteer Ambulance Service is a New York State certified ambulance agency operated by UAlbany students, proudly serving the University at Albany, as well as the Albany and Guilderland communities since 1973. They provide Basic Life Support 24/7 during the fall and spring semesters, responding to calls within a five-mile radius of UAlbany's Uptown Campus. With two ambulances and a team of dedicated volunteers, including CPR-certified attendants, emergency vehicle operators, and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), Five Quad is well-equipped to handle emergencies and also offers standby crews for special events. They are largely funded by the Student Activity Fee and provide training courses such as CPR and Stop the Bleed to the campus community.Generated from the website

The office coordinates emergency management services with other federal and state agencies to support county and local governments. The New York State Emergency Management Office routinely assists local government, volunteer organizations and private industries through a variety of emergency management programs. Its programs include hazard identification, loss prevention, planning, training, operational response to emergencies, technical support and disaster recovery assistance. During disasters, the New York State Emergency Management Office coordinates the emergency response of all state agencies to ensure that the most appropriate resources are dispatched to impacted areas. Since 1954, the office has received more than 50 federal emergency and disaster declarations. Its legal foundations are in the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950 and the New York State Defense Emergency Act of 1951.
