The town of East Hampton is about to experience even more snowfall than the last large storm.

Due to this large storm system with well over a foot of snow, the members at the EHAA is prepared for whatever comes our way.

For Sunday night and all of Monday, EHAA will have 2 full crews on duty, as well as a fly car ensuring all residents still get the best treatment possible, in the quickest and safest way. All trucks are fueled up, and stocked with snow supplies to ensure this happens.

Our friends at the East Hampton CT Volunteer Fire Department will be accompanying your EMS crews for Sunday night and all of Monday, to provide emergency plowing and manpower when needed.

A few reminders before the snow

- Remain off the roadways as much as possible. This ensures Fire, EMS, Police and public works have plenty of room on the roadway to operate safely.
- Charge electronics, especially cell phones in case of power issues.
- Expect cold temperatures and an even colder wind chill. Layer up when going outdoors to protect against hypothermia.
- Know when to stop, heavy snow is expected and shoveling could get hard. Make sure not to over exert, and take many breaks to protect your heart.
- Please check on neighbors, especially elderly to ensure everyone has what they need.

EHAA will remain prepared and will continue to monitor the storm until the end, ensuring the residents of EH are covered in the event of a medical emergency.

This past Saturday, on 01/31/2026, the East Hampton Ambulance Association hosted a hands on trauma training day focusing on a simulated gunshot wound scenario involving multiple extensive injuries.

Service providers were split into groups of two to three members, mirroring the typical staffing of one ambulance. This ensured the most realistic stimulation possible and emphasized teamwork, communication and decision-making in high stress situations.

Ongoing training like this is extremely important for our providers. These scenarios allow our providers to practice new techniques, maintain continuing education, strengthen teamwork and ensure we are always prepared to deliver the highest level of care to our community.

In this training a high-fidelity simulation mannequin was utilized, which is as close to lifelike as possible. This mannequin was generously donated by a member of our community whose support helps to ensure that our service providers obtain a high level of training. This mannequin also offers unique medical and trauma training capabilities not found anywhere else in our area and will serve the members of EHEMS well for years to come. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the donor for their incredible generosity and continued support.

See the attached Rivereast News Bulletin for a story they wrote up about our training!

❄️Post Storm Report❄️
Throughout the long and cold storm, the East Hampton Ambulance Association remained prepared. During the large snow fall, we had 2 full crews on duty ready to assist the community no matter the weather. During the storm we had two back to back medical calls, utilizing both crews. This made responding to our community quicker and safer for all.

We would like to give our deepest thanks to the East Hampton CT Volunteer Fire Department for responding to all of our medical calls during the storm! The fire department provided their utility truck to plow a path wherever we needed to go.

A big thanks to the Middlesex Health Paramedics who also responded to both medical calls, providing ALS assistance to those in need.

We also want to give a big thanks to the East Hampton Police Department for assisting with the medicals, as well as taking care of other calls for duty in town.

Last but not least, a big thanks to the Town of East Hampton, Connecticut Public Works for all the hard work that was put into taking care of the town during the storm!

East Hampton Ambulance Association would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the East Hampton Rotary Club for their generous donation of $3,716.68 presented by Kyle Chmilecki. This donation will be used towards a new Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Your continued support helps us better serve and protect our community when it matters most. An AED is a portable, life saving device used during cardiac arrest. It analyzes the heart rhythm and if necessary, delivers an electrical shock to help restore a normal heartbeat. AEDs overall significantly increase a patients chance of survival when used promptly. Due to the Rotary Clubs generosity, we are better equipped to respond to cardiac emergencies and provide the highest level of care to the residences and visitors of East Hampton. Thank you for your commitment to the communities health and safety. Your support truly saves lives.

Lucas got so excited about helping Santa tonight, he thought he needed some extra oxygen!!

While Lucas may not have needed the extra oxygen, he now knows how to help our patients! Here he is practicing with a non-rebreather! This is just one of many ways our service providers can provide oxygen to patients!

Lucas wishes everyone a safe holiday tonight! He looks forward to helping Santa and all the other elves with delivering Christmas cheer!!

Lucas was wondering why we had so many tourniquets after he learned how to use them this month. Our service providers today showed us our stop the bleed kit. Stuffed full of combat gauze, quick clot, chest seals, trauma shears and touriquets, Lucas will be ready to treat multiple injured patients at once.

To go with the stop the bleed kit, Lucas took a peek at our SMART triage kit. Now Lucas is ready for an MCI (Mass Casualty Incident). He would be able to triage lots of patients based on their injuries.

Each of our trucks come stocked with a stop the bleed kit and a triage bag as well as a command center bag. While we never hope to use these, our service providers are prepared for the worst case scenario, and now Lucas is too!

Lucas wanted to learn how to get patients down flights of stairs today. Here he is sitting in our stairchair.

While it may seem scary at first, Lucas said it was cool!
We use the stairchair anytime we need some help moving patients and don’t have enough space for our stretcher. The stairchair has a special step for your feet and has some straps to keep patients secure! There are handles that we use to steer and move. The stairchair has tracks we use to help guide the chair down stairs easier.

Fun fact: if we need extra hands, our friends in the police and fire departments know how to operate our stairchair too!
