Ambulance Primary Service Areas for Minnesota

The Primary Service Area (PSA) dataset utilizes the text-based PSA descriptors to display ambulance service primary service areas as designated by the Minnesota Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board (EMSRB). The EMS Regulatory Board is the state agency that licenses ambulance services in Minnesota. Each ambulance service is licensed to provide a certain level of care (basic life support, advanced life support or a combination). The level of care is largely dependent on the training level of the personnel. Each ambulance service is licensed to provide care in an assigned PSA which has defined geographic boundaries. In the event of a discrepancy between this information (data and text-based descriptions) and other sources, the text-based descriptor is the final determination of the Board. Any questions or proposed changes to PSA must be submitted to the EMSRB.<br/>Website: https://mn.gov/emsrb<br/>Phone number: (651) 201-2800 or (800) 747-2011 <br/><br/>Primary Service Area designations are made in accordance with the provisions of the following Minnesota statutes: <br/>https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/144E.06 <br/>https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/144E.07<br/><br/>This dataset is the authoritative source of ambulance service boundaries by Minnesota statute.
