All 911 EMS providers shall utilize a universal triage tag recommended by the Department. Such a tag shall have a barcode to scan for patient tracking and shall have the ability to show only one (1) color of triage category at any given time. The initial supply of these tags shall be provided by the Department and requests shall be granted on a first come first served basis. It shall be the responsibility of each agency to replenish their supply as necessary. Any other emergency response agencies, such as law enforcement, fire, and private EMS, may also request issuance of such tags to participate in the system and ensure consistency.
